Question
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.

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 (BMRBMR).
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
