Answer:

$3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

$1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

So, $3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr$ is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).

The height difference is found by
$\delta H=400sin(5 \°)=34.86m$
Then the change in potential energy is
$E=mgh=(80.0kg)(9.8 \frac{kgm}{s^2})(34.86)= 27332J$
