Two hours later the body has a temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The flu was going around and it was believed the victim was on her way to the drugstore because her roommate said she had a temperature of 102.4 degrees Fahrenheit. If Newton's law of cooling holds, estimate when the person died, relative to the time the body was found. Hint: call the time the body is found t = 0 and solve u' (t) = -k(u(t) -A) with A = 70 and initial condition u(0) = 92.6. Then use u(2) = 90 to find k, and from that figure out at what time u(t) equaled 102.4.arrow_forward* Sugar dissolves in water at a rate proportional to the amount still undissolved.
