Asked by Alona
A 56kg adult is climbing up a staircase of 67m. By how much would her body temp increase if her lost energy went into increasing her body temperature during this climb (in C)?
I calculated the required amount of joules to reach the top to be 37x10^4J but i don't know where to go after that...

If it is not supplied, you will have to research the thermoefficiency of the human body.
<b>If</b> the thermoefficiency is 20%, it means that 20% of the energy used up goes into doing "useful" work, W, while the other 80% goes to generating (excessive) body heat.
So in that case, the body heat generated would be 80%/20%*W.
