At noon the furnace is turned off, and the people go home. The
temperature outside is a constant 9degreesC for the rest of the
afternoon. If the time constant for the building is 3 hr, when
will the temperature inside the building reach 14degreesC? If some
windows are left open and the time constant drops to 2 hr, when
will the temperature inside reach 14degreesC?
