Problem on efficiency for the energy use by body


In an effort to pump up you decide to hit the gym and lift weights everyday of the week. Your favorite lift, which you per-form every trip to the gym, is the bench press. This lift involves lifting a 125 lb. weight straight up from chest height to full arm extension, a distance of 20 inches. (a) How much work is done on the weight to lift it one time? (b) If you do 3 sets of 10 in a day, what total energy do you expend on lifting, assuming a typical efficiency for energy use by the body? (c) How many 400 Calorie jelly donuts can you eat each day to supply that energy?
