A concerned mother is dressing her child for play in the snow. The child's skin temperature is 34.0°C, and the outside air temperature is 2.75°C. If the emissivity of the child's skin is 0.700 and he has 1.25 ✕ 10−2 m2 of exposed skin area, what is the amount of energy transferred from his body to the surroundings in 1.00 h?
