The weight(or mass) a person can expect to lose in
Answer to Problem 16P
5.3 kg
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A person decides to sleeping one hour less per day and use this time for light activity to lose weight.
Formula used:
Energy E , power P , and time T are related as,
Calculation:
If a person sleeps one hour less, then there will be increase in one-hour light activity. So, total energy lost in 1 year, by doing the activity 1 hour each day is,
Given that the
So, the fat lose by a person in a year,
Conclusion:
Therefore, of mass or weight a person can lose in
