Solve Newton's Cooling Law: Find m with c and t=10 mins

[Nope]

Homework Statement

An object of temperature 60^oF is placed in a medium maintained at a constant temperature m^oF. At the end of 5 mins thetemperature of the object is 45 ^oF and after another 5 mins its temperature is 36 ^oF.
Find m

Homework Equations

y=ce^kt+m

The Attempt at a Solution

when t=0,c+m=60
how would you find c and m??
thx

Perhaps you should try solving directly from the formula for Newton's Law of Cooling.

i.e. dT/dt = -k(T - T_ambient)
where T = temp, t = time, k is a positive constant.
