A persons body is producing energy internally due to

Chapter , Problem 26

(choose chapter or problem)

A persons body is producing energy internally due to metabolic processes. If the body loses more energy than metabolic processes are generating, its temperature will drop. If the drop is severe, it can be life-threatening. Suppose that a person is unclothed and energy is being lost via radiation from a body surface area of 1.40 m2 , which has a temperature of 34 8C and an emissivity of 0.700. Also suppose that metabolic processes are producing energy at a rate of 115 J/s. What is the temperature of the coldest room in which this person could stand and not experience a drop in body temperature?
