A Covid-19 patient whose weight is 65 kg has a body temperature of 38°C due to the ever caused by the patient's immune reaction against coronavirus. The patient drinks 1 L of old water at 4 °C to lower his/her fever. Assuming that the patient's body dissipates energy of 9 J to the environment and has an average specific heat of 3.8 kJ/kg°C, calculate the body emperature of this patient after drinking the cold water.

A Covid-19 patient whose weight is 65 kg has a body temperature of 38°C due to the
fever caused by the patient's immune reaction against coronavirus. The patient drinks 1 L of
cold water at 4 °C to lower his/her fever. Assuming that the patient's body dissipates energy of
79 J to the environment and has an average specific heat of 3.8 kJ/kg°C, calculate the body
temperature of this patient after drinking the cold water.
