Answer:
W = 41.45 Kcal
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a person, m = 75 kg
He climbs 248 steps to the top of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, a total climb of 59 m.
We need to find how many calories does he or she burn.
Work done = Fd
d is displacement
⇒ W = 75 ×9.8 ×59
= 43365 J
Let the efficiency is 0.25.
[tex]W=\dfrac{43365}{0.25}\\\\=173460\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\=41.45\ kcal[/tex]
So, 41.45 Kcal is burned by the person.
