QUESTION 13
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 that a roast turkey is taken from an oven when its temperature has
reached 185o F and is placed on a table in a room where the temperature is 75o F. If u .t/ is the temperature of the
turkey after t minutes, the Newton's Law of Cooling implies that
du
D k .u 75/ :
dt
This could be solved as a separable differential equation. Another method is to make the change of variable y D
u 75:
(a) What initial–value problem does the new function y satisfy? What is the solution?
(b) If the temperature of the turkey is 150o F after half an hour, what is the temperature after 45 minutes?
(c) When will the turkey have cooled to 100o F? [5]
QUESTION 14
For a real gas, van der Waal's equation states that
n2a
PC .V nb/ D n RT:

Here P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, T is the temperature (in degrees Kelvin), n is the
number of moles of gas, R is the universal gas constant and a and b are constants. Compute and interpret
