Alligators and other reptiles don't use enough
Chapter 12, Problem 43(choose chapter or problem)
Alligators and other reptiles don't use enough metabolicenergy to keep their body temperaturesconstant. They cooloff at night and must warm up inthe sun in the morning. Supposea 300 kg alligator with an earlymorningbody temperature of25C is absorbing radiation from the sun at a rate of 1200 W.How long will the alligator need to warm up to a more favorable30C? (Assume that the specific heat of the reptilian body is thesame as that of the mammalian body.)
