Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its te
mperature and that of its surroundings. If we measure temperature in degrees Celsius and time in minutes, the constant of proportionality k equals 0.4. Suppose the ambient temperature TA(t) is equal to a constant 38 degrees Celsius. Write the differential equation that describes the time evolution of the temperature T of the object. (a) dT dt = $$ Correct: Your answer is correct. 0.4(38-T) Suppose the ambient temp TA(t) = 38cos( π 30 t) degrees Celsius (time measured in minutes). Write the DE that describes the time evolution of temperature T of the object. (b) dT dt = Correct: Your answer is correct. If we measure time in hours the differential equation in part (b) changes. What is the new differential equation? Use the letter s to denote time in hours. (c) dT ds = If we measure time in hours and we also measure temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, the differential equation in part (c) changes even more. What is the new differential equation? Use the letter F to denote temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
