Cooling time Suppose an object with an initial temperature of T₀ > 0 is put in surroundings with an ambient temperature of A, where A < T₀/2. Let t₁/₂ be the time required for the object to cool to T₀/2.


a. Show that t₁/₂ = −1/k ln((T₀ − 2A)/(2(T₀ − A))).

Start with Newton's Law of Cooling, which states that the temperature \( T(t) \) of the object at time \( t \) satisfies the differential equation: \[\frac{dT}{dt} = -k (T - A)\] where \( k > 0 \) is a constant and \( A \) is the ambient temperature.
Solve the differential equation by separating variables or recognizing it as a first-order linear ODE. The general solution is: \[T(t) = A + (T_0 - A) e^{-k t}\] where \( T_0 \) is the initial temperature at \( t = 0 \).
Define \( t_{1/2} \) as the time when the temperature reaches half of the initial temperature, i.e., when \( T(t_{1/2}) = \frac{T_0}{2} \). Substitute this into the solution: \[\frac{T_0}{2} = A + (T_0 - A) e^{-k t_{1/2}}\]
Isolate the exponential term: \[\frac{T_0}{2} - A = (T_0 - A) e^{-k t_{1/2}}\] Then divide both sides by \( T_0 - A \): \[\frac{\frac{T_0}{2} - A}{T_0 - A} = e^{-k t_{1/2}}\]
Take the natural logarithm of both sides to solve for \( t_{1/2} \): \[-k t_{1/2} = \ln \left( \frac{\frac{T_0}{2} - A}{T_0 - A} \right)\] Rearranging gives: \[t_{1/2} = -\frac{1}{k} \ln \left( \frac{T_0 - 2A}{2 (T_0 - A)} \right)\] which is the desired expression.

Newton's Law of Cooling

Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of change of an object's temperature is proportional to the difference between its temperature and the ambient temperature. Mathematically, this is expressed as dT/dt = -k(T - A), where k > 0 is a constant. This law models how objects cool or warm over time toward the surrounding temperature.

Solving First-Order Linear Differential Equations

The temperature function T(t) satisfies a first-order linear differential equation. Solving it involves separating variables or using an integrating factor to find T as a function of time. This solution typically involves an exponential decay term reflecting how temperature approaches ambient temperature over time.

Logarithmic Manipulation in Solving for Time

To find the cooling time t₁/₂ when the temperature reaches T₀/2, one must solve the exponential equation for t. This requires isolating t by taking the natural logarithm of both sides, using properties of logarithms to simplify the expression, and expressing t₁/₂ in terms of known quantities like T₀, A, and k.

38–43. Equilibrium solutions A differential equation of the form y′(t)=f(y) is said to be autonomous (the function f depends only on y). The constant function y=y0 is an equilibrium solution of the equation provided f(y0)=0 (because then y'(t)=0 and the solution remains constant for all t). Note that equilibrium solutions correspond to horizontal lines in the direction field. Note also that for autonomous equations, the direction field is independent of t. Carry out the following analysis on the given equations.

a. Find the equilibrium solutions. 


y′(t) = y(y - 3)

{Use of Tech} Endowment model An endowment is an investment account in which the balance ideally remains constant and withdrawals are made on the interest earned by the account. Such an account may be modeled by the initial value problem B′(t)=rB−m, for t≥0, with B(0)=B0. The constant r>0 reflects the annual interest rate, m>0 is the annual rate of withdrawal, B0 is the initial balance in the account, and t is measured in years.


a. Solve the initial value problem with r=0.05, m=\(1000/year, and B0=\)15,000 Does the balance in the account increase or decrease?
