Question 1176055: An object with initial temperature 160 Fahrenheit is submerged in large tank of water whose temperature is 40 Fahrenheit. Find a formula for F(t), the temperature of the object after t minutes, if the cooling constant is k=0.8
F(t)=?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
F(t)=Fs+(Fo-Fs)*e^(-0.8t)
F(t)=40+(120)e^(-0.8t)
