A cup of coffee has a temperature of 80∘C when it is placed outside where the temperature is 20∘C. Suppose the temperature of the coffee, T(t), changes according to Newton's Law of Cooling with proportionality constant k = 0.09. (a) Find and classify the equilibrium solution(s) using a phase line. (b) Find T(t). (c) Evaluate and interpret limt→∞ T(t). (d) How long will it take for the coffee to reach a temperature of 25∘C ? How long to reach a temperature of 20∘C ?
You'll get a detailed, step-by-step and expert verified solution.
