, QUESTION 13
Newton’s Law of Cooling states that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature difference
between the object and its surroundings. Suppose that a roast turkey is taken from an oven when its temperature has
reached 185°F and is placed on a table in a room where the temperature is 75°F. If u (¢) is the temperature of the
turkey after ¢ minutes, the Newtons Law of Cooling implies that
du
— =k —-173).
ar Kw=T75)
This could be solved as a separable differential equation. Another method is to make the change of variable y =
u— 75.
(a) What initial-value problem does the new function y satisfy? What is the solution?
(b) If the temperature of the turkey is 150°F after half an hour, what is the temperature after 45 minutes?
(c) When will the turkey have cooled to 100°F? [5]
