In this problem you will consider the balance of thermal energy radiated and absorbed by a person. Assume that the person is wearing only a skimpy bathing suit of negligible area. As a rough approximation, the area of a human body may be considered to be that of the sides of a cylinder of length L=2.0m and circumference C=0.8m. For the Stefan-Boltzmann constant use ?=5.67

A large cavity that has a very small hole and is maintained at a temperature T is a good approximation to an ideal radiator or blackbody. Radiation can pass into or out of the cavity only through the hole. The cavity is a perfect absorber, since any radiation incident on the hole becomes trapped inside the cavity. Such a cavity at 500 .C has a hole with area 5.00 mm?. How long does it take for the cavity to radiate 300 J of energy through the hole?
