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.

Use the fourth-order Runge鈥揔utta subroutine with h= 0.1 to approximate the solution to\({\bf{y' = cos}}\;{\bf{5y - x,y(0) = 0}}\),at the points x= 0, 0.1, 0.2, . . ., 3.0. Use your answers to make a rough sketch of the solution on\(\left[ {{\bf{0,3}}} \right]\).

A garage with no heating or cooling has a time constant of 2 hr. If the outside temperature varies as a sine wave with a minimum of 50Fat2:00a.m.and a maximum of80Fat2:00p.m., determine the times at which the building reaches its lowest temperature and its highest temperature, assuming the exponential term has died off.

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.

Use the fourth-order Runge鈥揔utta subroutine with h = 0.25 to approximate the solution to the initial value problemy'=1-y,y(0)=0, at x = 1. Compare this approximation with the one obtained in Problem 6 using the Taylor method of order 4.
