Chapter 5, Section 5.8, Question 32
Determine the length of a rectangular trench you can dig with the energy gained from eating one Milky Way bar (270 cal). Assume that you convert
the energy gained from the food with 5% efficiency and that the trench is 7 meters wide and 1 meter deep. Use the fact that the density of soil is
1000 kg/m³ and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s².
