In Exercise of Section, the time of death of a murder victim is determined using Newton’s law of cooling. In particular it was discovered that the proportionality constant in Newton’s law was k = ln (5/4) ≈ 0.223. Suppose we discover another murder victim at midnight with a body temperature of 31°C. However, this time the air temperature at midnight is 0°C, and is falling at a constant rate of 1°C per hour. At what time did the victim die?(Remember that the normal body temperature is 37°C.)
