Chapter 8, Problem 58

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose that at time \(t=0\) an object with temperature \(T_{0}\) is placed in a room with constant temperature \(T_{a}\). If \(T_{0}<T_{a}\), then the temperature of the object will increase, and if \(T_{0}<T_{a}\), then the temperature will decrease. Assuming that Newton's Law of Cooling applies, show that in both cases the temperature \(T(t)\) at time t is given by

\(T(t)=T_{a}+\left(T_{0}-T_{a}\right) e^{-k t}\)

where k is a positive constant.
