We have a lesson on differential eqns.. A problem is:

A dead body is found to have a temperature of 30OC at 2 PM which drops by half degree after
another hour. It was noted that the body is inside a room kept at a temperature of 20OC. It is
suspected that the victim is poisoned in his lunch served at 11:30 AM. Give the time of death of
the victim. Is the claim that the victim is poisoned possible? If it is, what is the nature of the
poison used in terms of time it fully takes effect.
*Hint dT/dt = k(Tofsurrounding - Tofbody)

Can anyone please help me and explain to me how this can b
