ames has a mass of 66 kg and his resting metabolic rate is about 106 watts, or about 90 kcal per hour. Suppose that James immerses himself in a tub containing 67 liters of water at a starting temperature of 0∘ C and then maintains a metabolic rate equal to twice his normal resting metabolic rate until all of the water reaches his normal body temperature of 37∘ C. How long would it take to heat the water to 37∘ C?

Suppose that on a dry, sunny day when the air temperature is near 37∘C, a certain swimming pool would increase in temperature by 1.75∘C in one hour if not for evaporation. What fraction of the water in the pool must evaporate during this time to carry away precisely enough energy to keep the temperature of the pool constant?
