In a murder investigation a corpse was found by a detective at exactly at 8 pm. Being alert a detective is also measured the body temperature and found is to be 70°F. Two hours later, the detective measured the body temperature again and found to be 60°F. If the room temperature 50°F and assuming that the body temperature of the person before death is 98.6°F, at what time did the murder occur? log2.43=0.88789, log0.5=0.69315

IMPORTANT

The temperature of a cylindrical conductor starts rising when connected across a battery. The conductor radiates to the surrounding from it's curved surface following Newton's law of cooling and finally it attains a steady state temperature, its temperature exceeding the ambient temperature by Δθ=9°C. If the length of the conductor is reduced to 34 times of the original length, keeping other conditions unchanged, the steady state temperature C of the conductor exceeds the ambient temperature by
