2. Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. A roast turkey is taken from the oven when its temperature has reached 185 °F and is placed on a table in a room where the temperature is 75 °F. (a) If the temperature of the turkey is 150 °F after half an hour, what is the temperature after 45 minutes? (b) When will the turkey have cooled to 100 °F?
