II. Newton's Law of Cooling A heated metal is placed in cooler surroundings. Its rate of cooling is 2°C per minute when its temperature is 60°C and 1.2°C per minute when its temperature is 52°C. Find the temperature of the surroundings and the rate of cooling when the temperature of the metal is 48°C.
