A person of surface area 1.75 m is lying out in the sunlight to get sun bath. If the intensity of the incident sunlight is W/m, at what rate must heat be lost (in watt) by the person in order to maintain a constant body temperature? (Assume the effective area of skin exposed to the Sun is 40% of the total surface area and that internal metabolic processes contribute another 90 W for an inactive person.) Emissivity of the body is 0.6.

Answer:
384
Solution:

Absorbed power

Add metabolic heat:

must be lost. Answer: 384.
