Chapter 16, Problem 87GP
A grandfather clock has a simple brass pendulum of length L. One night, the temperature in the house is 25.0 °C and the period of the pendulum is 1.00 s. The clock keeps correct time at this temperature. If the temperature in the house quickly drops to 17.1 °C just after 10 P.M., and stays at that value, what is the actual time when the clock indicates that it is 10 A.M. the next morning?

Newton's Law of Cooling tells us that the rate of change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the
temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. This can be modeled by the differential equation
dT
= k(T – A), where T is the temperature of the object after t units of time have passed, A is the ambient
dt
temperature of the object's surroundings, and k is a constant of proportionality.

In order to estimate the time of death, the coroner took the person's temperature twice. At 9:00 a.m. the temperature was 84.2°F, and at 11:00 a.m. the temperature was 81.6°F. From these two temperatures, the coroner was able to determine that the time elapsed since death and the body temperature were related by the formula t = −10 ln T − 70 98.6 − 70 where t is the time in hours elapsed since the person died and T is the temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) of the person's body. (This formula is derived from a general cooling principle called Newton's Law of Cooling. It uses the assumptions that the person had a normal body temperature of 98.6°F at death, and that the room temperature was a constant 70°F.) Use the formula to estimate the time of death of the person. (Round your answer to the nearest hour.)arrow_forward
