A child running at a temperature of 101oF is given an antipyrin (i.e., medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to 98oF in 20 min, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused by which heat is lost. The mass of child is 30 kg. The specific heat of the human body is approximately the same as that of water and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about 580 cal/g.
