A coffee with temperature \(\displaystyle 176^\circ\) is left in a room with temperature \(\displaystyle 55^\circ\). After 12 minutes the temperature of the coffee is \(\displaystyle 167^\circ\), what is the temperature of the coffee after 24 minutes?
Newton's law of Cooling states that the change in temperature is directly proportional to the difference between the object's temperature and its surroundings. \begin{equation*} \frac{dT}{dt} = k(T(t)-T_{\text{room}})\end{equation*}Using the substitution \(\displaystyle y(t)=T(t)-55\) and calculating the derivative gives \(\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{dT}{dt}\). Calculating the new initial condition using the point \(\displaystyle (12, 167)\) and the substition gives \(\displaystyle y(0) = T(0)-55 = 121\). The point \(\displaystyle (12, 167)\) must also be transformed to get \(\displaystyle y(12) = T(12)-55 = 167 - 55 = 112\). Substituting both of these into the equation gives the new equaiton \(\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt}=ky\) which has the solution \(\displaystyle y(t) = y(0)e^{kt}=121e^{kt}\). Evaluating the function at the point gives \(\displaystyle 112=121e^{12k}\) and isolating the exponential gives \(\displaystyle \frac{112}{121}=e^{12k}\). Solving for \(\displaystyle k\) gives \(\displaystyle k=\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{112}{121} \right)}}{12}\). Substuting \(\displaystyle k\) back into the equation gives \(\displaystyle y(t) = 121e^{\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{112}{121} \right)}}{12}t}\) and simplifying gives \(\displaystyle y(t) = 121 \left(\frac{112}{121}\right)^{\frac{t}{12}}\). Substituting out \(\displaystyle y(t)\) gives \begin{equation*}T(t)-55 = 121 \left(\frac{112}{121}\right)^{\frac{t}{12}} \implies\, T(t)= 121 \left(\frac{112}{121}\right)^{\frac{t}{12}} + 55 \end{equation*}Using \(\displaystyle t = 24\) gives \(\displaystyle T =121 \left(\frac{112}{121}\right)^{\frac{24}{12}} + 55\approx 159.00^\circ\)
\begin{question}A coffee with temperature $176^\circ$ is left in a room with temperature $55^\circ$. After 12 minutes the temperature of the coffee is $167^\circ$, what is the temperature of the coffee after 24 minutes?
\soln{9cm}{Newton's law of Cooling states that the change in temperature is directly proportional to the difference between the object's temperature and its surroundings. \begin{equation*} \frac{dT}{dt} = k(T(t)-T_{\text{room}})\end{equation*}Using the substitution $y(t)=T(t)-55$ and calculating the derivative gives $\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{dT}{dt}$. Calculating the new initial condition using the point $(12, 167)$ and the substition gives $y(0) = T(0)-55 = 121$. The point $(12, 167)$ must also be transformed to get $y(12) = T(12)-55 = 167 - 55 = 112$. Substituting both of these into the equation gives the new equaiton $\frac{dy}{dt}=ky$ which has the solution $y(t) = y(0)e^{kt}=121e^{kt}$. Evaluating the function at the point gives $112=121e^{12k}$ and isolating the exponential gives $\frac{112}{121}=e^{12k}$. Solving for $k$ gives $k=\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{112}{121} \right)}}{12}$. Substuting $k$ back into the equation gives $y(t) = 121e^{\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{112}{121} \right)}}{12}t}$ and simplifying gives $y(t) = 121 \left(\frac{112}{121}\right)^{\frac{t}{12}}$. Substituting out $y(t)$ gives
\begin{equation*}T(t)-55 = 121 \left(\frac{112}{121}\right)^{\frac{t}{12}} \implies\, T(t)= 121 \left(\frac{112}{121}\right)^{\frac{t}{12}} + 55 \end{equation*}Using $t = 24$ gives $T =121 \left(\frac{112}{121}\right)^{\frac{24}{12}} + 55\approx 159.00^\circ$}
