A fresh cup of coffee has a temperature of 80°C. The coffee is cool enough to drink once its temperature is 40°C. The ambient temperature is 20°C. After 2 minutes, the coffee has cooled by 10°C. Using Newton's law of cooling, estimate the total time, after the coffee was first prepared, for the coffee to be ready to drink.
