  1. Newton’s law of cooling states that the rate at which a body cools is directly proportional to the excess temperature of the body over the temperature of its surroundings. Given that at time t minutes a body has a temperature T and its surroundings a constant temperature from a differential equation in terms of T,,t and the constant of proportionality k,K0. Integrate this equation to show that (N(T-)=Kt+C where C is a constant.

At 2:33 pm, the water in a kettle boils at 100 in a room of constant temperature 21. After 10 minutes, the temperature of the water in the kettle is 84. Use this information to find C and k, hence find the time taken for the water in the kettle to have the temperature of 70.                                                                          (12 mks)
