Check the Recipe, Herb!

     This stew's not cooking fast enough! We need to raise the temperature of the water another 10° Celsius.

     Let's see...20 kg of water and 70 kg of person, both with a specific heat capacity of 4.2 Joules/(gram-Celsius degree) would take...???

     Help me Herb! How many Joules of heat energy will I need? By the way, the tub, being made out of special physics materials, does not have to be considered in the calculation.
