Two friends sit down to talk and enjoy a cup of coffee. When the coffee is served, the impatient friend immediately adds a teaspoon of cream to his coffee. The relaxed friend waits 5 min before adding a teaspoon of cream (which has been kept at a constant temperature). The two now begin to drink their coffee. Who has the hotter coffee? Assume that the cream is cooler than the air and has the same heat capacity per unit volume as the coffee, and that Newton鈥檚 law of cooling governs the heat transfer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

As the cream is cooler than the air, so the relaxed friend who waits for 5 minutes before adding the cream will have the hottest coffee.

Step by step solution

01

Given data.

Two friends sit down to talk and enjoy a cup of coffee. One friend added a teaspoon of cream to his coffee immediately when the coffee was served. The other friend added the cream to his coffee after 5 minutes. We have to determine that whose coffee is hotter.

02

Applying Newton’s law of cooling to find the temperature of coffee at time t

Let the initial temperature of coffee at time, t=0be T0.

Let the constant outside temperature be M and the temperature of the coffee be T at time t. So, by Newton鈥檚 law of cooling,

dTdtM-TdTdt=-M-T

where, is the constant of proportionality.

So, the initial value problem is,

dTdt=-M-T,T0=T0

Now, integrating both sides,

1M-TdT=-dtlnM-T=-t+C....................(2)

Where, C is an arbitrary constant.

When t=0,T=T0

Therefore, from (1)

C=lnM-T0

Substituting this value of C in equation (1),

lnM-T=-t+lnM-T0lnM-T-lnM-T0=-tlnM-TM-T0=-tM-TM-T0=e-tT=M-M-T0e-t

Thus, the temperature of coffee at time t is role="math" localid="1664178540900" T(t)=M-(M-T0)e-t.

03

 Step 3: To determine the temperature of coffee after 5 minutes

The temperature of coffee at time t is,

Tt=M-M-T0e-t (From step2)

So, the temperature of coffee after 5minutes is,

T5=M-M-T0e-5

Therefore, the cream is cooler than the air, so the relaxed friend who waits for 5 minutes before adding the cream will have the hottest coffee.

A cup of hot coffee initially at 95掳C cools to 80掳C in 5 min while sitting in a room of temperature 21掳C. Using just Newton鈥檚 law of cooling, determine when the temperature of the coffee will be a nice 50掳C.

In Problems 23鈥27, assume that the rate of decay of a radioactive substance is proportional to the amount of the substance present. The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for one-half of the substance to disintegrate. Carbon dating is often used to determine the age of a fossil. For example, a humanoid skull was found in a cave in South Africa along with the remains of a campfire. Archaeologists believe the age of the skull to be the same age as the campfire. It is determined that only 2% of the original amount of carbon-14 remains in the burnt wood of the campfire. Estimate the age of the skull if the half-life of carbon-14 is about 5600 years.

An object of mass 8 kg is given an upward initial velocity of 20 m/sec and then allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force in newtons due to air resistance is -16v , where v is the velocity of the object in m/sec. Determine the equation of motion of the object. If the object is initially 100 m above the ground, determine when the object will strike the ground.

An object of mass 5 kg is released from rest 1000 m above the ground and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assuming the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the object with proportionality constant b = 50 N-sec/m, determine the equation of motion of the object. When will the object strike the ground?

Local versus Global Error. In deriving formula (4) for Euler鈥檚 method, a rectangle was used to approximate the area under a curve (see Figure 3.14). With

\({\bf{g(t) = f(t,f(t))}}\), this approximation can be written as \(\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {{\bf{g(t)dt}} \approx {\bf{hg(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} \)where \({\bf{h = }}{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}{\bf{ - }}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}\) .

  1. Show that if g has a continuous derivative that is bounded in absolute value by B, then the rectangle approximation has error\(\left( {\bf{O}} \right){{\bf{h}}^{\bf{2}}}\); that is, for some constant M, \(\left| {\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {{\bf{g(t)dt - hg(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} } \right| \le {\bf{M}}{{\bf{h}}^{\bf{2}}}\).This is called the local truncation error of the scheme. [Hint: Write \(\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {{\bf{g(t)dt - hg(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} {\bf{ = }}\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {\left[ {{\bf{g(t)dt - g(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} \right]{\bf{dt}}} \). Next, using the mean value theorem, show that\(\left| {{\bf{g(t)dt - g(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} \right| \le {\bf{B}}\left| {{\bf{t - }}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}} \right|\) . Then integrate to obtain the error bound\(\left( {\frac{{\bf{B}}}{{\bf{2}}}} \right){{\bf{h}}^{\bf{2}}}\).]
  2. In applying Euler鈥檚 method, local truncation errors occur in each step of the process and are propagated throughout the further computations. Show that the sum of the local truncation errors in part (a) that arise after n steps is (O)h. This is the global error, which is the same as the[ss1] [m2] convergence rate of Euler鈥檚 method.
