Question

1.59 A 175-lb man was placed in a tank filled with 1000 gallons of water. The temperature of the water increased by 2.49 Celsius degrees in a 1.5-h period. Calculate

the heat lost by the man during this experiment. Using that data, calculate the patient's basal metabolic rate-that is, the energy required in a 24-h period. (Hint: The heat lost is equal to the heat gained by the water.)
