Early Monday morning, the temperature in the lecture hall has fallen to 41°F,the same as the temperature outside. At 7:00 A.M., the janitor turns on the furnace with the thermostat set at 70°F. The time constant for the building is 1/k=3 hr and that for the building along with its heating system is 1/k(1)=2/3 hr. Assuming that the outside temperature remains constant, what will be the temperature inside the lecture hall at 8:45 A.M.? When will the temperature inside the hall reach 65°F?
