Question3

A person eats a dessert that contains 260 Calories. (This "Calorie" unit, with a capital C, is the one used by nutritionists; 1 Calorie = 4186 J.) The skin temperature of this individual is 36°C and that of her environment is 21° C. The emissivity of her skin is 0.75 and its surface area is 1.3 m2. How much time would it take for her to make a net radiant energy from her body that is equivalent to energy contained in this dessert?
