The dead body of a cricket coach was discovered in a prominent hotel at noon on Sunday where the temperature is 70°F. The temperature of the body at the time of discovery s 76°F and one hour later the temperature is 75.3°F. Newton's law of cooling says that the rate of change of temperature T(t) on an object is proportional the difference between the time T(t) and the temperature Tm of the surrounding medium; that is dT = k(T-Tm) dt Where k is a constant of proportionality.
