Does a Snickers™ candy bar (65 g, 1360 kJ) pro-vide enough energy to climb from Zermatt (elevation 1660m) to the top of the Matterhorn (4478 m, Figure Q2–3),or might you need to stop at HÖrnli Hut (3260 m) to eatanother one? Imagine that you and your gear have a massof 75 kg, and that all of your work is done against gravity(that is, you are just climbing straight up). Remember fromyour introductory physics course thatwork (J) = mass (kg) × g (m/sec2) × height gained (m)where g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/sec2). Onejoule is 1 kg m2/sec2.What assumptions made here will greatly under-estimate how much candy you need?
