Newton's Law of Cooling tells us that the rate of change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. This can be modeled by the differential equation =k(TA), where T is the temperature of the object after t units of time have passed, A is dT dt the ambient temperature of the object's surroundings, and k is a constant of proportionality.

According to Newton's law of cooling, the temperature of a body changes at a rate proportional to the difference between the temperature of the body and the temperature of the surrounding medium. Thus, if Tm is the temperature of the medium and T = T(t) is the temperature of the body at time t, then T'= -k(T - Tm) where k is a positive constant. In this exercise, you will verify that T = Tm+ (To-Tm)e -kt is a solution to the differential equation. Here To denotes the initial temperature T(0) of the body. (a) First substitute the above expression for T into the left side of the differential equation. In other words, compute T'. Use an underscore "_" to write the subscripts on To and Im T'= (b) Next substitute the above expression for T into the right side of the differential equation. In other words, compute -k(T – Tm). - -k(T - Tm) (c) Are your answers in parts (a) and (b) equal? No Yes
A tank with a capacity of 25 L originally contains 15 L of brine with a concentration of 5 g/L of salt. Water containing 1 g/L of salt is entering at a rate of 5 L/min, and the mixture is allowed to flow out of the tank at a rate of 4 L/min. Find the concentration (in g/L) of salt in the tank when it is on the point of overflowing.
