Alligators and other reptiles don't use enough metabolic energy to keep their body temperatures constant. they cool off at night and must warm up in the sun in the morning. suppose a 300 kg alligator with an early-morning body temperature of 25? c is absorbing radiation from the sun at a rate of 1200 w.

Newton's law of cooling states that the rate of change in the temperature t(t) of a body is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the medium m(t) and the temperature of the body. that is, startfraction dt over dt endfraction equals upper k left bracket upper m left parenthesis t right parenthesis minus upper t left parenthesis t right parenthesis right bracket , where k is a constant. let kequals0.04 left parenthesis min right parenthesis superscript negative 1 and the temperature of the medium be constant, m(t) font size decreased by 3 equivalent font size decreased by 3 294 kelvins. if the body is initially at 369 kelvins, use euler's method with hequals0.1 min to approximate the temperature of the body after (a) 30 minutes and (b) 60 minutes.
