1) Each hour after death, for the first 12 hours, the body temperature falls 0.78°C per hour. After the first 12 hours, the body loses about 0.39°C per hour until it reaches ambient temperature. Assume a body was dumped outdoors, in had a starting temperature of 20*C, at approximately 0430. When the body was found, it had a temperature of 4.9*C. At approximately what time, using the information provided, was the victim killed?

What does a formula do?
Automatically does mathetical calculations, saving alot of time and effort! :)
What is a formula used for?
A formula enables the answer to a mathematical problem to be established by using a set pattern of calculations. A simple example is speed=distance/time.
What is the formula you use to calculate drug calculations?
Which drug calculations? The toxic dose, the effective dose, the required dose, the metabolic halflife, the time since consuming and many more calculations require completely different formulae and data.
What is a predefined formula that performs common calculations such as adding the values in a group of cells or generating a value such as the time or date?
function
If deceased has a blood alcohol count of 3 and time of death is not known can one say the person died shortly after acheiving such a reading?
Unless you know when he started drinking, and how much he had to drink, you cannot complete the formula necessary to tell you. Time of death is typically determined by a formula defined by liver temperature and ambient environmental temperature, but this meathod degrades after about ten hours and is effective only up to about twenty-four hours. Most alcohol will also continue to disipate after death, only showing by its presence that it was consumed.
How is the body temperature and the temperature of the surroundings use to find the time of death?
don't know sorry
How can body temperature determine the time of death?
it is the temperature of the liver that determines the time of death (how long a body has been dead). that's why the medical examiner sticks a meat thermometer into the liver.
What is the practical significance of thermal death point and thermal death time?
Thermal death point is the temperature at which an organism will be killed by heat, and thermal death time is the concept used to determine what that time and temperature must be. These ideas are frequently used in the food and cosmetic industries to eliminate bacterial contamination.
What is the time of death formula?
There is no formula for time of death. Various factors are present, and all must be taken into consideration. Rigor mortis, livor mortis, algor mortis, the stages of insects growth, and decomposition are needed to determine time of death.
What is a common factor used to determine an estimated time of death?
liver temperature
How much time it will take to evaporate water in room temperature exact time?
A formula doesn't exist; this depends on the temperature, pressure, room volume, amount of water, etc.
How much time required for a normal postmortem?
Changes that take place at a fairly predictable rate, depending on body temperature at the time of death, and environmental temperature once death has taken place. The size of the body and the presence or absence of bacterial infection will also influence these changes.
