Hi, I would like some guidance with this intro differential equation problem: A cup of coffee cools according to Newton’s law of cooling (3). Use data from the graph of the temperature T(t) in Figure 1.3.10 to estimate the constants Tm, T0, and k in a model of the form of a rst-order initial-value problem: dT/dt = k(T − Tm), T(0) = T0 I understand that T0 = 180, and Tm = 75, and I understand to find K, I need to solve for it which leaves me with this equation: k=(dT/dt)/(T-Tm) Where I am getting lost is, how do I find the value of dT/dt, and the value of T. Thanks
Hi, I would like some guidance with this intro differential equation problem:
A cup of coffee cools according to Newton’s law of cooling (3).
Use data from the graph of the temperature T(t) in Figure 1.3.10
to estimate the constants Tm, T0, and k in a model of the form
of a rst-order initial-value problem: dT/dt = k(T − Tm),
T(0) = T0
I understand that T0 = 180, and Tm = 75, and I understand to find K, I need to solve for it which leaves me with this equation: k=(dT/dt)/(T-Tm)
Where I am getting lost is, how do I find the value of dT/dt, and the value of T.
Thanks
