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 To C e kt where t is the time it takes for an object to cool from temperature To to temperature T C is the surrounding ajr 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 40 minutes the temperature of the cake is 140 F What is the temperature of the cake after 60 minutes After 60 minutes the temperature of the cake is F Do not round until the final answer Then round to the nearest whole number as needed CL
