- Aliens from the planet Jeenkah have based their temperature scale on the freezing and boiling temperatures of ethyl alcohol. These temperatures (in degrees Celsius) are 114C and 78C, respectively. The Aliens choose J as their temperature unit, and decided to allocate 144J to the temperature difference between the freezing and boiling points of ethyl alcohol and to let 0J be the freezing point of ethyl alcohol.

- Problem 21. Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of its sur- roundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. The coffee has a temperature of 80°C when freshly poured, and 1 min later has cooled to 70°C, when the temperature outdoors is 0°C. (a) Write an initial value problem for this model. (b) Determine the time when the coffee reaches a temperature of 40°C. (Note: Begin the solution by stating your notation).arrow_forwardA person taking a reading of the temperature in a freezer in Celsius makes two mistakes: first omitting the negative sign and then thinking the temperature is Fahrenheit. That is, the person reads -x°C as X°F. Oddly enough, the result is the correct Fahrenheit temperature. What is the original Celsius reading?
