Given T and T for Boston, show that the heating season is on average 260 days

Question:

Given T̅ and ΔT for Boston, show that the heating season is on average ≈ 260 days long and evaluate eq. (36.44)

T1/2 2ΔΤ T1 dt cos(wt) To1 = Тол 2ΔΙ sin(wT/2), WTI = TI


to obtain the average number of heating degree days in Boston. Then choose a city for which monthly average temperature data are available, compute T̅, ΔT, and Dcity. Compare your answer with the(commonly available) actual value for Dcity.
