Over a period of time, a hot object cools to the
temperature of the surrounding air. This is described
mathematically by Newton's Law of Cooling T=C+T0−Ce−kt,
where t is the time it takes for an object to cool from temperature
T0 to temperature T, C is the surrounding
air temperature, and k is a positive constant that is
associated with the cooling object. A cake removed from the oven
has a temperature of 210°F and is left to cool in a room that has
a temperature of 70°F. After 20 minutes, the temperature of the
cake is 140°F. What is the temperature of the cake after 40
minutes?
(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest
whole number as needed.)
