Question:
Shivering is your body’s way of generating heat to restore its internal temperature to the normal 37°C, and it produces approximately 290 W of heat power per square meter of body area. A 68-kg, 1.78-m-tall woman has approximately 1.8 m2 of surface area. How long would this woman have to shiver to raise her body temperature by 1.0 C°, assuming that the body loses none of this heat? The body’s specific heat capacity is about 3500 J/kg ∙ K.
