Clocks convert energy at the average rate


We estimate that there are 255 million plug-in electric clocks in the United States, approximately one clock for each person. The clocks convert energy at the average rate of 8.1 W. To supply this energy, how many metric tons of coal are burned per hour in coal-fire electric-generating plants that are, on average, 21.3% efficient? The heat of combustion for coal is MJ/kg.
