of a butcher is usually 37.5 degrees Celsius. One day however, he locks himself in the meat freezer until he manages to break out twenty minutes later. The temperature of the freezer is normally -10 degrees Celsius. If body temperature follows Newton's Law of Cooling and he breaks out with body temperature 36 degrees Celsius, how long would he have to be in the freezer for his body temperature to reach 35 degrees Celsius?
