A dead fish was found inside a compartment that is able to maintain a constant temperature of 373 Kelvin. and the bored Engineering student measured its temperature at that time to be 500 Kelvin. He measured the dead fish's temperature again after 2800 seconds and it was 400 Kelvin. Assuming that the dead fish's body was initially 900 Kelvin on the time of its death, how much time has passed before its body has been discovered?
