Solution

ΔT = Twater – Tsourrounding = T – Ts

At t = 0                          ΔT = 60 and T = 80°C

80 – Ts = 60                  ∴ Ts = 20°C

Newton law of cooling

(TfTi)Δt=k(T1+Tfi2Ts)

Between 0 to 6 minute

206min=k[(40+202+20)20]

Between 6 to t2 minute

20t26=k[(40+202+20)20]

After divided by t2 = 16 min.
