The temperature Tt of a body at time t=0 is 160° F and it decreases continuously as per the differential equation dTdt=KT80, where K is positive constant. If T15=120° F, then T45 is equal to
  1. 85° F
  2. 95° F
  3. 90° F
  4. 80° F

Solution

Given: dTdt=KT80

dTT80=Kdt

160TdTT80=0tKdt

logT80160T=Kt

logT80log80=Kt

logT8080=Kt

T=80+80eKt

Now, using the value T15=120° we get,

120=80+80eK·15

4080=e15k

e15k=12

T45=80+80e45k

T45=80+80e15k3

T45=80+80×18

T45=90° F
