Problem: A hiker caught in a thunderstorm loses heat when her clothing becomes wet. She is packing emergency rations that if completely metabolized, will release 30 kJ of heat per gram of rations consumed.
Part A: How much rations must the hiker consume to avoid a reduction in body temperature of 4 K as a result of heat loss? Assume the heat capacity equals that of water. Assume the hiker weighs 55kg. State any additional assumptions.
Please help for the above question, completely confused!! Show each steps if possible, Thanks.
