Newton's Law of Cooling States That the Rate of Cooling 160F160 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }

Question 126

Multiple Choice

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 160F160 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F } and is placed on a table in a room where the temperature is 60F60 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F } . If u(t) u ( t ) is the temperature of the turkey after tt minutes, then Newton's Law of Cooling implies that
dudt=k(u60) \frac { d u } { d t } = k ( u - 60 )
This could be solved as a separable differential equation. Another method is to make the change of variable y=u60y = u - 60 . If the temperature of the turkey is 150F150 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F } after half an hour, what is the temperature after 35 min35 \mathrm {~min} ? Select the correct answer.


A) t=143Ft = 143 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }
B) t=148Ft = 148 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }
C) t=298Ft = 298 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }
D) none of these
E) t=95Ft = 95 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }
