The basal metabolic rate is the rate at which energy is produced in the body when a person is at rest. A 157 lb (71.0 kg ) person of height 5.91 ft(1.80 m ) would have a body surface area of approximately 1.90 m2 . Reqiuired:
a. 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 31.0 ∘C? (At such temperatures, nearly all the heat is infrared radiation, for which the body's emissivity is 1.00, regardless of the amount of pigment.)

b. Normally, 80.0 % of the energy produced by metabolism goes into heat, while the rest goes into things like pumping blood and repairing cells. Also normally, a person at rest can get rid of this excess heat just through radiation. Use your answer to part A to find this person's basal metabolic rate(BMR).
