8. Water is being heated in a kettle. At time \(t\) seconds, the temperature of the water is \(\theta ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\).
The rate of increase of the temperature of the water at time \(t\) is modelled by the differential equation
$$\frac { \mathrm { d } \theta } { \mathrm {~d} t } = \lambda ( 120 - \theta ) \quad \theta \leqslant 100$$
where \(\lambda\) is a positive constant.
Given that \(\theta = 20\) when \(t = 0\)
- solve this differential equation to show that
$$\theta = 120 - 100 \mathrm { e } ^ { - \lambda t }$$
When the temperature of the water reaches \(100 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\), the kettle switches off.
- Given that \(\lambda = 0.01\), find the time, to the nearest second, when the kettle switches off.
