Solve the problem.The temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) of a dead body that has been cooling in a room set at 70° is measured as 88°. One hour later, the body temperature is 87.5°. How long (to the nearest hour) before the first measurement was the time of death, assuming that the body temperature of the deceased at the time of death was 98.6°. Assume the cooling follows Newton's Law of Cooling:   U = T + (Uo - T)ekt.

What will be an ideal response?


The deceased died approximately 16 hours before the first measurement.
