A child running a temperature of 101^@F is given an antipyrin (i.e. a 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 98^@F in 20 min., What is the average rate of extra evaporation caused by the drug ? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost.
