Soil Moisture The evapotranspiration index I is a measure of
soil moisture. An article on 10- to 14-year-old heath vegetation
described the rate of change of I with respect to W, the amount
of water available, by the equation

(b) What happens to I as W becomes larger and larger?
9. A fitness club hires you to talk to their clients about the biomechanics of exercise. One of the clients likes to walk stairs at her office during her lunch hour for exercise. She wants to know if she can burn off the calories from one candy bar (180 kilocalories) by climbing up 1,500 steps of stairs. One kilocalorie equals 4,184 Joules. She weighs 65 kg and the height of one stair is 20 cm. The gross efficiency of her positive work is 25%.
