Question

Does a Snickers™ candy bar (65 g, 1360 kJ) pro-
vide enough energy to climb from Zermatt (elevation 1660
m) to the top of the Matterhorn (4478 m, Figure Q2–3),
or might you need to stop at HÖrnli Hut (3260 m) to eat
another one? Imagine that you and your gear have a mass
of 75 kg, and that all of your work is done against gravity
(that is, you are just climbing straight up). Remember from
your introductory physics course that
work (J) = mass (kg) × g (m/sec2) × height gained (m)
where g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/sec2). One
joule is 1 kg m2/sec2.
What assumptions made here will greatly under-
estimate how much candy you need?
