(1 point) Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. Suppose t is time, T is the temperature of the object, and Ts is the surrounding temperature. The following differential equation describes Newton's Law dT/dt=k(T−Ts), where k is a constant. Suppose that we consider a 95∘C cup of coffee in a 25∘C room. Suppose it is known that the coffee cools at a rate of 2∘C/min. when it is 70∘C. Answer the following questions.
1. Find the constant k in the differential equation. Answer (in per minute): k=
2. What is the limiting value of the temperature? Answer (in Celsius): T=
3. Use Euler's method with step size h=2 minutes to estimate the temperature of the coffee after 1010 minutes. Answer (in Celsius): T(10)≈
