Question
You place a tray of 60°F water in a freezer
that is set at 0°F. The water cools according
to Newton's Law of Cooling
T (t) = T, + (To – T;) e¬kt
where T is temperature, t is the number of
-
hours the tray is in the freezer, T, is the
temperature of the surrounding air, and To
is the original temperature of the water.
The water freezes in 4 hours. What is the
cooling constant, k? (hint: water freezes at
32°F Round your answer to the nearest
hundredth.
