Concept explainers
You are working as a crime-scene investigator and must predict the temperature of a homicide victim over a 5-hr period. You know that the room where the victim was found was at 10°C when the body was discovered.
(a) Use Newton's law of cooling (Prob. 1.14) and Euler's method to compute the victim's body temperature for the 5-hr period using values of
(b) Further investigation reveals that the room temperature had actually dropped linearly from 20 to
(c) Compare the results from(a) and (b) by plotting them on the same graph.
