Set up the differential equation based on the given information.
The rate of change of temperature with respect to time is proportional to . Since it's cooling, the constant of proportionality will be negative.
where is a positive constant.
Separate variables and integrate.
Exponentiate both sides:
Let . Since temperature is positive, .
Apply the initial condition.
At , .
Therefore, the equation for the temperature is:
Part b
Use the given condition ( when minutes) to find the value of .
Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
Find the time when the temperature .
Substitute the value of :
Calculate how much longer it will take.
The time elapsed after minutes is .
Rounding to 2 significant figures:
Part c(i)
Estimate the temperature of the metal after minutes using .
Using :
Rounding to 2 significant figures:
Part c(ii)
The ironsmith heats the metal to make it malleable (easy to shape) and ductile, allowing it to be forged into hoes and axes.
Part d
Differentiate the given equation implicitly with respect to .
Given .
Differentiate both sides:Using the chain rule for and the product rule for :
Rearrange the equation to solve for .
Factor out :
Combine terms inside the parenthesis:
Multiply both sides by :
