Answer:
691200 J
Explanation:
From specific heat capacity,
ΔQ = cmΔt.................. Equation 1
Where ΔQ = increase in thermal energy, c = specific heat capacity of the body, m = mass of the man, Δt = rise in temperature.
Given: c = 3.6 kJ/kg.°C = 3600 J/kg.°C, m = 96 kg, Δt = 39-37 = 2 °C.
Substitute into equation 1
ΔQ = 3600×96×2
ΔQ = 691200 J.
Hence the change in the thermal energy of the body = 691200 J
