The Temperature of a Cup of Coffee Obeys Newton's Law $150 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }$

question 40

Multiple Choice

The temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. The initial temperature of the coffee is $150 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }$ and one minute later, it is $135 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }$ . The ambient temperature of the room is $70 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }$ . If $T ( t )$ represents the temperature of the coffee at time t, the correct differential equation for the temperature with side conditions is

• A) \(\frac { d T } { d t } = k ( T - 135 )\)
• B) \(\frac { d T } { d t } = k ( T - 150 )\)
• C) \(\frac { d T } { d t } = k ( T - 70 )\)
• D) \(\frac { d T } { d t } = T ( T - 150 )\)
• E) \(\frac { d T } { d t } = T ( T - 70 )\)
