The basal metabolic rate is the rate at which energy is producedin the body when a person is at rest. A 72 kg (159 lb) person ofheight 1.82 m (6.0 ft) would have a body surface area ofapproximately 2.0 m2.
1. What is the net amount of heat this person could radiateper second into a roomat 19.0 ∘C∘C (about 66.2 ∘F∘F) if hisskin's surface temperature is 31.0 ∘C∘C? (At suchtemperatures, nearly all the heat is infrared radiation, for whichthe body's emissivity is 1.0, regardless of the amount ofpigment.)
Express your answer in watts.
