3217.79 hours.

Explanation:

Given, A 140 lb. climber saved her potential energy as she descended from Mt. Everest (Elev. 29,029 ft) to Kathmandu (Elev. 4,600 ft).

Power = 0.4 watt

Mass of climber = 140 lb

= 140 x 0.4535 kg [∵ 1 lb= 0.4535 kg]

⇒ Mass of climber (m) = 63.50 kg

Let $h_1=29,029\ ft= 8848.04\ m\ \ \ \ [ 1 ft=0.3048\ m ]$ and $h_2= 4,600 ft = 1402.08\ m$

Now, Energy saved = $mg(h_1-h_2)=(63.50)(9.8)(8848.04-1402.08)=4633620.91\ J$

$\text{Power}=\dfrac{\text{energy}}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.4=\dfrac{4633620.91}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{time}=\dfrac{4633620.91}{0.4}\approx11584052.28\text{ seconds}\\\\=\dfrac{11584052.28}{3600}\text{ hours}\ \ \ [\text{1 hour = 3600 seconds}]\\\\=3217.79\text{ hours}$

Hence, she can power her 0.4 watt flashlight for 3217.79 hours.
