The average person loses 200ml of water per day by sweating. this is 8% of the total output of water from the body. how much is the total output of water?
The maximum amount of water an adult in temperate climates can perspire in one hour is typically $1.8 \mathrm{L}$. However, after several weeks in a tropical climate the body can adapt, increasing the maximum perspiration rate to $3.5 \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{h}$. At what rate, in watts, is energy being removed when perspiring that rapidly? Assume all of the perspired water evaporates. At body temperature, the heat of vaporization of water is $L_{\mathrm{v}}=24 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kg} .$
(I) During exercise, a person may give off 180 $\mathrm{kcal}$ of heat in 25 min by evaporation of water from the skin. How much water has been lost?
