The basal metabolic rate is the rate at which energy is produced in the body when a person is at rest. A 75 kgkg (165 lblb) person of height 1.85 mm (6.07 ftft) would have a body surface area of approximately 2.00 m2m2. Part A What is the net amount of heat this person could radiate per second into a room at 17.0 ∘C∘C (about 62.6 ∘F∘F) if his skin's surface temperature is 31.0 ∘C∘C? (At such temperatures, nearly all the heat is infrared radiation, for which the body's emissivity is 1.0, regardless of the amount of pigment.) Express your answer with the appropriate units. HnetHnet = nothingnothing SubmitRequest Answer Part B Normally, 80%% of the energy produced by metabolism goes into heat, while the rest goes into things like pumping blood and repairing cells. Also normally, a person at rest can get rid of this excess heat just through radiation. Use your answer to part A to find this person's basal metabolic rate…

A metal rod is 10 cm long and has a diameter of 2 cm one end is in contact with steam at 100 deg C while the other end contacts a block of ice at 0 deg C. The cylindrical surface of the rod is carefully insulated so heat flows only from one end to end. In a time of 20 minutes, 320 grams of ice melts. What is the thermal conductivity of the metal?
