Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy: Problem 108_BIO
In 1981, Daniel Goodwin climbed 443 m up the exterior of the Sears Building in Chicago using suction cups and metal clips. (a) Approximate his mass and then compute how much energy he had to transfer from biomechanical (internal) energy to the gravitational potential energy of the EarthβGoodwin system to lift himself to that height. (b) How much energy would he have had to transfer if he had, instead, taken the stairs inside the building (to the same height)?
π Solution Approach
Given: 443 m
Find: (a) Approximate his mass and then compute how much energy he had; (b) How much energy would he have had to transfer if he had
