A body is discovered in a room kept at 21∘21^\circC. At the moment of discovery its temperature is 30∘30^\circC, and one hour later it is 27.75∘27.75^\circC. Assuming Newton's law of cooling and a body temperature of 37∘37^\circC at the time of death, how many hours before the discovery did death occur?
