When an object is removed from a furnace and placed in an environment with a constant temperature of 62 °F, its temperature is 1620 °F. One hour after it is removed, the temperature of the object is 1184 °F. Find the temperature of the object 6 hours after the object is removed from the furnace. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

[tex]T(6) = 297.33[/tex]

after 6 hours the temperature of the object will be 297.33 F

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Newton's Law of Cooling:

[tex]T(t) = T_s + Ce^{kt}[/tex]

here,

[tex]T(t)[/tex] : The temperature that of the object (that is changing)

[tex]T_s[/tex] : Temperature of the surroundings (that is not changing) = 62

[tex]t[/tex] : time (in unit hours)

[tex]C\,\text{and}\,k[/tex] : Are constants.

In our case were given two conditions:

[tex]T(0) = 1620[/tex]: at time t = 0, the temperature of the object is 1620

and

[tex]T(1) = 1184[/tex]: at time t = 1, the temperature of the object is 1184

we're going to use these conditions to find the values of C and k

using the first equation:

[tex]T(t) = T_s + Ce^{kt}[/tex]

[tex]T(0) = 62 + Ce^{k(0)}[/tex]

[tex]1620 - 62 =C[/tex]

[tex]C = 1558[/tex]

using the second equation

[tex]T(t) = T_s + Ce^{kt}[/tex]

[tex]T(1) = 62 + 1558e^{k(1)}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1184-62}{1558} = e^{k}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1184-62}{1558} = e^{k}[/tex]

[tex]e^k = \dfrac{561}{779}[/tex]

[tex]k = \ln{\left(\dfrac{561}{779}\right)\approx-0.3283[/tex]

Putting these values back in the original equation:

[tex]T(t) = T_s + Ce^{kt}[/tex]

[tex]T(t) = 62 + 1558e^{t\ln{(\frac{561}{779})}}[/tex]

considering the 'ln' and 'e' cancel out, this can also be written as:

[tex]T(t) = 62 + 1558\left(\dfrac{561}{779}\right)^t[/tex]

Now we need to find what the temperature of the object will be at 6 hours.

[tex]T(t) = 62 + 1558e^{(6)\ln{(\frac{561}{779})}}[/tex]

[tex]T(6) = 297.33[/tex]

after 6 hours the temperature of the object will be 297.33 F
