Problem

A 60 kg60\,\text{kg} athlete runs up stairs that rise vertically 5 m5\,\text{m} in 6 s6\,\text{s}. Only 20%20\% of the chemical energy released in the body is converted into useful mechanical work. a. (i) Calculate the mechanical work done. b. (ii) Determine the average mechanical power output. c. (iii) Estimate the total chemical energy consumed during the climb (take g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2).
