For Newton's law of cooling, body at 80°C cools in room at 20°C. After time, T = 60°C. Find k if time = 5 min:
Ak = ln 60
Bk = 1
Ck = (1/5) ln(3/2) ≈ 0.081 min⁻¹
Dk = 0
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. k = (1/5) ln(3/2) ≈ 0.081 min⁻¹
T - T_env = (T₀ - T_env) e^(-kt). 60 - 20 = 60 e^(-5k) → 40 = 60 e^(-5k) → e^(-5k) = 2/3 → -5k = ln(2/3) → k = (1/5) ln(3/2) ≈ 0.081.
