AI Generated Solution

To find the heat lost from the body of a person per hour, we can use the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Convert temperatures to Kelvin The body temperature is given as \(37^\circ C\) and the surrounding temperature as \(20^\circ C\). We need to convert these temperatures to Kelvin. - Body temperature in Kelvin: \[ T = 37 + 273 = 310 \, K ...
