To solve the problem step-by-step, we will use Newton's law of cooling, which states that the rate of change of temperature of a body is proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and its surroundings. ### Step 1: Set up the equation according to Newton's law of cooling According to Newton's law of cooling, we can express the rate of decrease of temperature as: \[ \frac{d\theta}{dt} = -k(\theta - \theta_0) \] where: ...
