A dead body was found within a closed room of a house where the temperature was a constant 68 °F. At the time of discovery, the core temperature of the body wasdetermined to be 88 ° F. One hour later a second measurement showed that the core temperature of the body was 76 ° F. Assume that the time of death corresponds to t= 0 and that the core temperature at that time was 98.6 ° F. Determine how many hours elapsed before the body was found.
