4th day of July on its midday, the body of an apparent homicide victim was found in a room of a Hotel in California which is kept at a constant temperature of 80°F. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, the temperature of the body becomes low when it was checked it is 90.4°F. When the relatives of victim arrived at 4 P.M., they check the body temperature and it drops at 84.2°F. Assume that the temperature of the body at the time of death was 99.9°F and that it has cooled in accord with Newton's law.
III. Find the body temperature of the victim if the relatives of the victim was arrived on 6pm, what is the body temperature if they check it?
