The basal metabolic rate is the rate at which energy is produced in the body when a person isat rest. A 75 kg (165 lb) person of height 1.75 m (5.7 ft) would have a body surface area ofapproximately 1.90 m2.What is the net amount of heat this person could radiate per second into a room at 19.0 °C(about 66.2 °F) if his skin's surface temperature is 30.0 °C? (At such temperatures, nearly allthe heat is infrared radiation, for which the body's emissivity is 1.0, regardless of the amountof pigment.)

Given Mass of the person m = 75 kg Height of the person h = 1.75 m Surface area A =…
