Newton's Law of Cooling. A cup of hot coffee has a temperature of 193 °F when freshly poured, and is left in a room at 73 °F. One minute later the coffee has cooled to 183 °F. (a) Assume that Newton's law of cooling applies. Write down an initial value problem that models the temperature of the coffee. The initial value problem is u' = -k u(0) (b) Determine when the coffee reaches a temperature of 171 °F. NOTE: Round the answer to two decimal places. minutes. The coffee reaches temperature 171 when t
