The rate of cooling is stated as dy/dt = -ky where y is the difference between the temperature of the substance and surroundings (22 degrees) and k is the cooling constant. What mathematical model can I use to investigate the effect of surface area on the rate of cooling?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The more the surface AREA the higher the rate of cooling......right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that's correct.

I'm just not sure how to show that mathematically? Maybe I'm missing somthing very obvious and simple

*something
