Question 1: The oil is heated to 60oC. It cools to 50oC after 6 minutes.

Find the time taken by the oil to cool from 50oC to 40oC (Surrounding temperature Ts = 25oC). Show that t = 25 c T=33.63

Solution to a Newton's Law of Cooling problem: A pot of liquid is put on the stove to boil. The temperature of the liquid reaches 170 oF and then the pot is taken off the burner and placed on a counter in the kitchen. The temperature of the air in the kitchen is 76oF. After two minutes the temperature of the liquid in the pot is 123 oF. How long before the temperature of the liquid in the pot will be 84 oF? Click here for more on Newton's Law of Cooling.
