4. The rate of cooling of a certain liquid is proportional too the difference between
the liquid temperature
and the room temperature. Given that the room temperature is θ 0 and the
liquid temperature at any time t
is denoted as θ where θ > θ 0. Write down the differential equation that shows
the relationship between θ
and t.
Given that the room temperature is 200 C and that the liquid temperature,
initially at 1000 C decreases
to 800C in 8 minutes, find the additional time taken for the liquid temperature to
drop to 300C, [ 8m]
