WORK DONE. BY MoUNTAINEERs.
Calculation of the Force Expended by
Man Who Climbs Hill.

The physical energy or force some
times exerted by the human body under
certain conditions is known to be as
founding. but no one has ever taken
the trouble to put before us that force
in figures. Dr.. j.. Buchheister has now
made most interesting calculation on
the work done" by lnountaineers in
ascending heights. which will serve as
an illustration. Supposing a noun
taineer weighing lGS pounds is making
the ascent of a summit 5000 feet high
from the point of starting. he has to
eXpend an amount of physical force
found by multiplying his weight by
the height to be ascended. In the case
assumed weight of 169 pounds plus
a height of 1000 feet equals 176. 900
foot-pounds; or, in other words. 1,176,-
600 pounds have to be lifted 1 foot.
This is work performed merely by
the muscles of the legs; but, besides
this, the contractions of the muscle of
the heart have to be taken into ac-
co1nt. Its function consists, as is well
known, in propelling the blood collect
ing in the heart, on the one hand into
the arteries, and, on the other into the
velocity of 1-2 feet per second, which
represents in the case of an adult a
work of foot pounds for each con.
traction of the heart. The pulsations
of an adult are on the average ~ per
minute, but in ascending heights, ow-
ing to the additional exertion, their
number is increased to an extraordin-
AIRY extent.
Assuming, for the sake of simplicity
in calculation, only 100 beats of the
pulse per minute, this would give 400
foot-pounds per minute, 24.000 foot
pounds per hour, and 120, 900 foot
pounds for the five hours supposed to
be required in ascending a height of T.
600 feet. The work performed by the
muscles in breathing by the expansion
and contraction of the chest, may also
be estimated at 4 foot-pounds. Assum-
ing, further, that the number of breath
ings per minute is on the average only
twenty-five, although, as matter of
fact, it will be found to be higher in
mountain ascent lasting five hours, we
have to add further work of 80, 900 foot
pounds
The total work performed during five
hours by mountaineer consequently
amounts to l 1926, GOO foot-pounds. In
this estimate are not included the
physical force spent in overcoming the
friction on the ground, the exertions to
be made in keeping the body erect at
dizzy heights and in dragging heavy
boots and foot-irons, nor the loss of
muscle power in cutting steps il the
ice. not to reckon the work performed
in carrying an ice axe. or the physical
force exerted in crossing fresh, loose
snow Taking all these conditions into
account, Dr. Buchheister arrives at the
conclusion that the work done in an
ascent of 1900 feet. lasting five hours,
cannot be placed at less than 1880, OOO
foot-pounds. Iron.
