To calculate the Calories Burned:
\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \frac{\text{MET} \times \text{Weight in kg} \times 3.5}{200} \right) \times \text{Time in minutes} \]
Where:
MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is a unit that estimates the amount of energy used by the body during physical activity, compared to resting metabolism. For scuba diving, the MET value is typically considered to be 7.0, indicating a high level of physical activity.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Weight in kg} = 150 \times 0.453592 = 68.04 \text{ kg} \]
\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \frac{7.0 \times 68.04 \times 3.5}{200} \right) \times 60 = 500.09 \text{ kcal} \]
The calories burned are 500.09 kcal.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Weight in kg} = 180 \times 0.453592 = 81.65 \text{ kg} \]
\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \frac{7.0 \times 81.65 \times 3.5}{200} \right) \times 45 = 450.08 \text{ kcal} \]
The calories burned are 450.08 kcal.
