Answer:

a)801KJoules

b)The woman must climb stairs for an equivalent of 1.57km

Number of stairs=7850 stairs

Explanation:

a)We use the conversion between Joules and Kcal:

4184Joules=1Kcal

540Kcal*(1484Joules/1Kcal)=801KJoules

b)The physical Work must be equal to the food energy

[tex]W_{physical}=E_{food}\\ mgh=E_{food}\\h=E_{food}/(mg)=801KJoules/(52Kg*9.81m/s^{2})=1.57Km\\[/tex]

The woman must climb stairs for an equivalent of 1.57Km

For example if an stair measure 20cm=0.2m

Number of stairs=1.57km/0.2m=7850 stairs
