Explain rations must the hiker consume to avoid a reduction

Reference no: EM13266383

A hiker caught in a thunderstorm loses heat when her clothing becomes wet. She is packing emergency rations which if completely metabolized wil release 30 kJ of heat per gram of rations consumed. How much rations must the hiker consume to avoid a reduction in body temperature of 4.0 K as a result of heat loss? Assume the heat capacity of the body equals that of water and that the hiker weighs 55 kg. State any additional assumptions.
