An object is taken out of the oven that is set at a
temperature of 370 F and taken to a room that is at a temperature70 F. After 5 minutes, the temperature of the object is250 F.
a) Use the Newton’s law of cooling to write a differential
equation for this situation.
I started with dy/dt = k(y-70) and after differentiating I ended up with y = Be^(kt) + 70
What would I use or how would I solve for B?
I went online but on every page I saw B as Tf-Ti. On another post(not here) someone mentioned to solve for B, but I don't know how to. I have the temperatures and can just plug it into Tf-Ti, in this case 300. I don't to use it that way as it appears like I'm missing or assuming something not given.
Should I use 370 as my value for B?
