Question: Problem 2 : Assume that for the problem above the surrounding temperature is changing periodically as T s ( t ) = c o s

Problem 2: Assume that for the problem above the surrounding temperature is changing periodically as Ts(t)=cos(2t).
Find an expression for the temperature of the thermometer as a function of time.
giving
T(t)=me-mt(t+T0)emtdt=me-mt[(t+T0)(1memt)-(1memt)dt]
=me-mt[1m(t+T0)emt-memtdt]=me-mt[1m(t+T0)emt-m2emt+C]
~~t+T0-m+Cme-mt
Problem 1: Assume that a thermometer with a spherical test section of radius r=0.3cm is initially at a temperature
Ti=50C, the density of the thermometer medium is =1000kgm3, its specific heat is c=3000JkgC, the heat transfer
coefficient h=1500Wm2C, the initial temperature of the surroundings T0=100C, and the rate of change of the sur-
roundings temperature =5Cs. How does the temperature of the thermometer compares to that of the surrounding
medium at long times? Plot the ratio of the thermometer's temperature to the surrounding temperature as a function of
time.
