Answer:

As of the 2019 redefinition of the SI base units, the kilogram is defined in terms of the second and the metre, both based on fundamental physical constants.

It is defined as the mass of a particular international prototype made of platinum-iridium and kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. It was originally defined as the mass of one liter (10-3 cubic meter) of pure water. At the Earth's surface, a mass of 1 kg weighs approximately 2.20 pounds ( lb ).

Suppose your surface body temperature averaged 90 degrees F. How much radiant energy in W/m^2 would be emitted from your body?

Debora [2.8K]

$493 \; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}$ .

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives the energy radiation <em>per unit area</em> of a black body:

$\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4}$

where,

$P$ the total power emitted,
$A$ the surface area of the body,
$\sigma$ the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant, and
$T$ the temperature of the body in degrees Kelvins.

$\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \;\text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} \cdot \text{K}^{-4}$ .

$T = 90 \; \textdegree{}\text{F} = (\dfrac{5}{9} \cdot (90-32) + 273.15) \; \text{K} = 305.372 \; \text{K}$ .

$\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4} = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 305.372^{4} = 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}$ .

Keep as many significant figures in $T$ as possible. The error will be large when $T$ is raised to the power of four. Also, the real value will be much smaller than $493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}$ since the emittance of a human body is much smaller than assumed.
