a.Assume that a mountain climber uses oxygen and does work at2.5 times the rate for climbing 116 stairs/min (1.96 L/min, 685 W), because of low air temperature and winds.
a. Calculate how many liters of oxygen a climber would need for12.0 h of climbing. (Note that only 40% of the inhaled oxygen is utilized and the rest is exhaled. Also note that your answer is in liters at sea level.)
b. How much useful work does the climber do if he and his equipment have a mass of94.0 kg and he gains1200 m of altitude?
c. What is his efficiency for the12.0 h climb?
