During a marathon race David uses energy at a rate of 272 W. What volume of body fluid does he lose in the 5.5 hours of the race if 21.0% of the energy goes to the muscle tissue and the rest is used in removing the perspiration from the body. The latent heat of vaporization is 2.41 106 J/kg at 37.0°C and density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Answer in cubic meters.

of
ice at 0.0 degrees Celsius. If the energy output
from the mine is increased by 3.3 percent, to
what final
temperature will the 364320 kg of ice-cold
water be heated?
