When a forensic expert determines time of death, they often have additional information besides body temperature. Suppose a coroner finds that the person who was murdered had an infection that probably raised the core body temperature to around 102 degrees. Using the same cooling constant, ambient room temperature, and temperature data as in problem 1, make a new estimate for the time of death. Again, write your answer as a time, not just as ? minutes.   A(Ambient temp)=68 B(temp)=85.9 K(cooling constant)=0.183702

Question

When a forensic expert determines time of death, they often have additional information besides body temperature. Suppose a coroner finds that the person who was murdered had an infection that probably raised the core body temperature to around 102 degrees. Using the same cooling constant, ambient room temperature, and temperature data as in problem 1, make a new estimate for the time of death.

Again, write your answer as a time, not just as ? minutes.

 

A(Ambient temp)=68

B(temp)=85.9

K(cooling constant)=0.183702
