(b) Only a fraction of the workers lifted blocks; most were involved in support services such as building ramps (see Figure \(7.45\)), bringing food and water, and hauling blocks to the site. Calculate the efficiency of the workers who did the lifting, assuming there were \(1000\) of them and they consumed food energy at the rate of \(300 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{h}\). What does your answer imply about how much of their work went into block-lifting, versus how much work went into friction and lifting and lowering their own bodies? (c) Calculate the mass of food that had to be supplied each day, assuming that the average worker required \(3600 kcal\) per day and that their diet was \(5 \%\) protein, \(60 \%\) carbohydrate, and \(35 \%\) fat. (These proportions neglect the mass of bulk and nondigestible materials consumed.) Figure \(7.45\) Ancient pyramids were probably constructed using ramps as simple machines.

Problem 67PE Construct Your Own Problem Consider a person climbing and descending stairs. Construct a problem in which you calculate the long-term rate at which stairs can be climbed considering the mass of the person, his ability to generate power with his legs, and the height of a single stair step. Also consider why the same person can descend stairs at a faster rate for a nearly unlimited time in spite of the fact that very similar forces are exerted going down as going up. (This points to a fundamentally different process for descending versus climbing stairs.)

Problem 68PE Construct Your Own Problem Consider humans generating electricity by pedaling a device similar to a stationary bicycle. Construct a problem in which you determine the number of people it would take to replace a large electrical generation facility. Among the things to consider are the power output that is reasonable using the legs, rest time, and the need for electricity 24 hours per day. Discuss the practical implications of your results.
