it is estimated that 1.0 kg of body fat will provide
3.8 × 107 j of energy. a 60-kg mountain climber decides
to climb a mountain 4000 m high.
(a) how much work does the climber do against
gravity in climbing to the top of the mountain?
the answer for this is 2.4x10^6
(b) if the body’s efficiency in converting energy stored as
fat to mechanical energy is 25%, determine the
amount of fat the climber will use up in providing the
energy required to work against the force of gravity.
the answer is 0.25kg
i got a) but i don't understand how to do b)

Athin, square metal plate measures 14 cm on each side and has emissivity of 0.60. the plate is heated to a temperature of 745°c. what is the rate at which the plate radiates energy ? the stefan-boltzmann constant is 5.67 × 10-8 w/(m2 ? k4). remember that the plate will radiate energy from both its top and bottom surfaces.

The temperature at a point (x, y) is t(x, y), measured in degrees celsius. a bug crawls so that its position after t seconds is given by x = 6 + t , y = 8 + 1 3 t, where x and y are measured in centimeters. the temperature function satisfies tx(3, 9) = 5 and ty(3, 9) = 4. how fast is the temperature rising on the bug's path after 3 seconds? (round your answer to two decimal places.)

The bar of prob. 5/82 is repeated here. the ends of the 0.4-m bar remain in contact with their re- spective support surfaces. end b has a velocity of 0.5 m/s and an acceleration of 0.3 m/s2 in the di- rections shown. determine the angular accelera- tion of the bar and the acceleration of end a.
