The rate of heat loss (in watts) in harbor seal pups has been approximated by

where m is the body mass of the pup (in kg), and T and A are the body core temperature and ambient water temperature, respectively (in °C). Find the heat loss for the following data.

(a) Body mass = 21 kg; body core temperature = 36°C; ambient water temperature = 4°C
(b) Body mass = 29 kg; body core temperature = 38°C; ambient water temperature = 16°C
