An inventor develops a stationary cycling device by which an individual, while pedaling, can convert all of the energy expended into heat for warming water. How much mechanical energy is required to increase the temperature of 200 g of water (enough for 1 cup of coffee) from 18°C to 94°C? (1 cal = 4.186 J, the specific heat of water is 4 186 J/kg/°C)

a. 6.4E+4 J
b. 3.2E+4 J
c. 1.6E+4 J
d. 1.0E+3 J
e. 1.5E+1 J
