Chapter 16, Problem 45P
Typical fats contain about 9 kcal per gram. If the energy in body fat could be utilized with 100% efficiency, how much mass would a runner lose in a 26.2-mile marathon while consuming 125 kcal/mile?

A sleeping 68 kg man has a metabolic power of 75 W .
How many Calories does he burn during an 8.0 hour sleep?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
An “energy bar” contains 22 g of carbohydrates. If the energy bar was his only fuel, how far could a 68 kg person walk at 5.0 km/h?
An energetic athlete can use up all the energy from a diet of 4000 Cal/day. If he were to use up this energy at a steady rate, what is the ratio of the rate of energy use compared to that of a 100 W bulb? (The power of 100 W is the rate at which the bulb converts electrical energy to heat and the energy of visible light.)
