A 201-lb man decides to add to his exercise routine by walkingup three flights of stairs (45 ft) 20 times per day. He figuresthat the work required to increase his potential energyin this way will permit him to eat an extra order of Frenchfries, at 245 Cal, without adding to his weight. Is he correctin this assumption?
