Boil water in a bowl and cool in a room. The air temperature in the room is increasing linearly according to the function Ta (t) = 22 + 0.015t (t in minutes, T in ° C). Assume that Newton's Law of Cooling is satisfied: the rate of change of water temperature is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the environment. We take the water temperature after 8 minutes and find that it...
