dY/dt = k (Y - Ys).

Explanation:

Okay, this question based on the law known as the Newton's law of cooling. According to Newton's law of cooling, when an object is placed into a specific or particular environment, the object's temperature will definitely be lower than the temperature of the surrounding or the environment.

So, we are given that the temperature of the object = 38 degree F = Y (o) of the object and the temperature of the environment = 68 degree F = Ys

Hence, dY/dt = k (Y - Ys).

dY / (Y - Ys) = kdt.
