Pre-Lab on Newton's Law of Cooling
• Please read the article described in the following link https://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMT668/EMAT6680.2001/Abney/WriteUp12/writeup12.html
• Make a scatter plot of the data using EXCEL or another program of your choice.
• Fit the data to the model function, (??)= ????-????+??, where T(t) is the temperature as a function of time t. If you do not know how to fit a function in Excel, you may find examples on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fd4ukzkxps
• From the BEST fit (using the minimization and solver method), find the parameter values of A, B, and C with their appropriate units. Record these values below.
• Print BOTH the spreadsheet and the graph to turn in with your work.
Use the model function that you developed to estimate the time it took for the person to drink his coffee at the desirable temperature of 10°F above the room temperature value at McDonald.
