The work done by the heart for each beat is 1 joule. Calculate the power of the heart if it beats 72 times in a minute.

Solution

Work done by the heart per beat = 1  J

Work done by the heart in 72 beats, W = 1 x 72 

                                                           =  72 J

Time Taken, t= 1 min = 60 s

Power, P  = Wt = 7260 = 1.2 W
