The liquid base of an ice cream has an initial temperature of 86°C before it is placed in a freezer with a constant temperature

Karolina [17]

The temperature of the ice cream 2 hours after it was placed in the freezer is 37.40 °C

From Newton's law of cooling, we have that

$T_{(t)}= T_{s}+(T_{0} - T_{s})e^{kt}$

Where

$(t) = \ time$

$T_{(t)} = \ the \ temperature \ of \ the \ body \ at \ time \ (t)$

$T_{s} = Surrounding \ temperature$

$T_{0} = Initial \ temperature \ of \ the \ body$

$k = constant$

From the question,

$T_{0} = 86 ^{o}C$

$T_{s} = -20 ^{o}C$

∴ $T_{0} - T_{s} = 86^{o}C - -20^{o}C = 86^{o}C +20^{o}C$

$T_{0} - T_{s} = 106^{o} C$

Therefore, the equation $T_{(t)}= T_{s}+(T_{0} - T_{s})e^{kt}$ becomes

$T_{(t)}=-20+106 e^{kt}$

Also, from the question

After 1 hour, the temperature of the ice-cream base has decreased to 58°C.

That is,

At time $t = 1 \ hour$ , $T_{(t)} = 58^{o}C$

Then, we can write that

$T_{(1)}=58 = -20+106 e^{k(1)}$

Then, we get

$58 = -20+106 e^{k(1)}$

Now, solve for $k$

First collect like terms

$58 +20 = 106 e^{k}$

$78 =106 e^{k}$

Then,

$e^{k} = \frac{78}{106}$

$e^{k} = 0.735849$

Now, take the natural log of both sides

$ln(e^{k}) =ln( 0.735849)$

$k = -0.30673$

This is the value of the constant $k$

Now, for the temperature of the ice cream 2 hours after it was placed in the freezer, that is, at $t = 2 \ hours$

From

$T_{(t)}=-20+106 e^{kt}$

Then

$T_{(2)}=-20+106 e^{(-0.30673 \times 2)}$

$T_{(2)}=-20+106 e^{-0.61346}$

$T_{(2)}=-20+106\times 0.5414741237$

$T_{(2)}=-20+57.396257$

$T_{(2)}=37.396257 \ ^{o}C$

$T_{(2)} \approxeq 37.40 \ ^{o}C$

Hence, the temperature of the ice cream 2 hours after it was placed in the freezer is 37.40 °C

A piece of work can be completed by 45 men in 90 days if only 30 men are available, how many days will it take to complete the s

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

135 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Often, we measure work in man·days. This piece of work requires ...

(45 man)·(90 days) = 4050 man·days

When there are only 30 men, the number of days required can be found by dividing this work by the number of men:

4050 man·days/(30 man) = 135 days

_____

Another approach is to realize the time is inversely proportional to the number of men. If the number of men is 30/45 = 2/3 the original, then the time will be 3/2 the original, or ...

(3/2)·90 days = 135 days.
