A glass of a hot water has an initial temperature 80°C, placed in a room where the temperature is 30°C. After one minute the water temperature drops to 70°C. What will be the temperature after 3 minutes? At what time the water cools down to 40°C?
3. According to Newton's Law of cooling', the rate at which the heat is lost by a heated
body is proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and the
surrounding medium (when the temperatutre difference is very small). If a thermometer
is taken outdoor, where the temperature is 6°C, from a room which temperature is 25C,
and the reading drops 15°C in one minute, how long after its removal from the room will
the reading be 8°C? after 45 secs what is the thermometer reading?
A thermometer reading is 60oF at 3:00 AM and a Civil Engineering student takes it outside where the air temperature is 20oF. At 3:10, the reading is 30oF. At 3:15, the thermometer is taken back indoor where the thermometer is 60oF. What is the thermometer reading at 3:20AM. a. What is the value of the constant of proportionality? b. The temperature of the thermometer at any time t is given by ____________?
