A body was found at 10 a.m. in a warehouse where the temperature was 40F. The medical examiner found the temperature of the body

to be 80F. What was the approximate time of death? Use Newton’s law of cooling, with k=0.1947.

Newton's law of cooling states that under forced convection (which is assumed to be true), then
dT(t)/dt = -k(T(t)-Ta)..............(1)
T(t)=temperature
Ta=ambient temperature=40F
k=cooling constant = 0.1947
T(0)=98.6F (assuming victim did not have fever)
Integrate (1)
T(t)-Ta=(T(t)-T(0))e^(-kt)
Solve for t
(T(t)-Ta)/(T(t)-T(0)) = e^(-kt)
take log:
-kt=log_e((T(t)-Ta)/(T(t)-T(0)))
substitute T(t)=80F, Ta=40F,T(0)=98.6F
-kt=log_e((80-40)/(98.6-40))=-0.38186
t=0.38186/0.1947
=1.96, or almost 2 hours   (assuming k=0.1947 is in hours)

60 degrees,60 degrees,4cm Do the following conditions make a unique triangle, more than one triangle or no triangle possible?
babunello [35]

NOT NECESSARILY would a triangle be equilateral if one of its angles is 60 degrees. To be an equilateral triangle (a triangle in which all 3 sides have the same length), all 3 angles of the triangle would have to be 60°-angles; however, the triangle could be a 30°-60°-90° right triangle in which the side opposite the 30 degree angle is one-half as long as the hypotenuse, and the length of the side opposite the 60 degree angle is √3/2 as long as the hypotenuse. Another of possibly many examples would be a triangle with angles of 60°, 40°, and 80° which has opposite sides of lengths 2, 1.4845 (rounded to 4 decimal places), and 2.2743 (rounded to 4 decimal places), respectively, the last two of which were determined by using the Law of Sines: "In any triangle ABC, having sides of length a, b, and c, the following relationships are true: a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C."¹
