An adult weighing $600 \, N$ raises the centre of gravity of his body by $0.25 \, m$ while taking each step of $1 \, m$ length in jogging. If he jogs for $6 \, km$,calculate the energy utilised by him in jogging assuming that there is no energy loss due to friction of ground and air. Assuming that the body of the adult is capable of converting $10 \, \%$ of energy intake in the form of food,calculate the energy equivalents of food that would be required to compensate for the energy utilised for jogging.

$A$ force $F = (5 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j}) \text{ N}$ acts on a body and produces a displacement $s = (6 \hat{i} - 5 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}) \text{ m}$. The work done by the force is: (in $\text{ J}$)
