Question 1 [7] A hyperthermic (feverish) male, with a body mass of 104 kg, has a mean body temperature of 107°F. He is to be cooled to 98.6°F by placing him in a water bath, which is initially at 77°F. Calculate what is the minimum volume of water required to achieve this result. The specific heat capacity of a human body is 3.5 kJ/(kg-K). The specific heat capacity for water is 4186 J/(kg-K). You must first find an appropriate formula, before substituting the applicable numbers.
