1. (c) Newton's law of cooling says that the temperature of a body changes at a rate (15)
proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of the surrounding
medium (the ambient temperature),
dT
dt *-k(T-T)
where T = the temperature of the body (°C), t=time (min),
k= the proportionality constant (per minute), and Ta = the ambient temperature
(°C). Suppose that a cup of coffee originally has a temperature of 70°C. Use Euler's
method to compute the temperature from t=0 to 10 mnin using a step size of 2min
if T,= 20°C and k =0.019/min.
