$A$ differential equation for the temperature $T$ of a hot body as a function of time,when it is placed in a bath which is held at a constant temperature of $32^{\circ} F$,is given by (where $k$ is a constant of proportionality):

  • A
    $\frac{dT}{dt}=k(T-32)$
  • B
    $\frac{dT}{dt}=-k(T-32)$
  • C
    $\frac{dT}{dt}=k(T+32)$
  • D
    $\frac{dT}{dt}=32kT$
