Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the cooling of white wine from an initial temperature of 70°F to a target temperature of 56°F, using ice at 32°F. The original poster notes the time taken to reach 60°F but seeks to determine the time to reach 56°F.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants question the absence of a differential equation and an attempted solution, suggesting that these elements are necessary for further assistance. There is a mention of Newton's law of cooling as a relevant concept, with some participants encouraging the original poster to formulate the differential equation themselves.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants emphasizing the need for the original poster to identify the differential equation related to the cooling process. There is a mix of guidance and requests for clarification on the problem setup.

Contextual Notes

Participants note that the original poster may be expected to reference Newton's law of cooling, which could be found in their textbook, but there is no explicit consensus on how to proceed without that formulation.

white wine @ room temp 70F is chilled in ice (32F). It takes 15 mins for wine to chill to 60F, how long will it take for the wine to reach 56F:rolleyes:

I don't see a differential equation, nor to I see an attempted solution. Both of those are required for you to get help here.
 
You have to come up with the dfq.

:smile: Am I imagining that last post?
 
I seriously doubt that you are expected to re-discover Newton's law of cooling. Have a look at that link, then please post your thoughts on how to proceed.

No, you have to come up the the diffeq, not us!:rolleyes:

As Tom Mattson said, Newton's law of cooling. It's probably given in your textbook.
