Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing since the arms have


Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing since the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveling a sidewalk metabolizes food at the rate of 700 W. (The efficiency of a person shoveling is 3%.)

(a) What is her useful power output?

W

(b) How long will it take her to lift 3000 kg of snow 1.20 m? (This could be the amount of heavy snow on 60.0 ft of sidewalk.)

s

(c) How much waste heat will she generate in the process?
