Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. If the coffee has temperature of 200°F when freshly poured, and 1 min later has cooled to 190°F in a room at 70°F, determine when a coffee reaches a temperature of 150°F. (Hint: you must find what the constant of proportionality is).
