2. A 70 kg hiker climbed a mountain 1000 m high. He reached the peak in 3 hr. A. Calculate the external work done by the climber. B. Assuming the work was done at a steady rate during the 3 hr period. Calculate the power generated during the climb. C. Assuming the average O2 consumption during he climb was 2 liters/min (corresponding to 9.6 kcal/min), find the efficiency of the hiker's body. D. How much energy appeared as heat in the body?
