Solar heating takes advantage of solar collectors such as the typeshown in the figure . During daylight hours, the average intensityof solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere is about 1400 .About 50 of this radiation reaches the Earth during daylight hours.(The rest is reflected, scattered, absorbed, and so on.) How muchheat energy would be received, on average, by the cylindricalcollector shown in the figure during 10 of daylight?
Given: radius = 0.50m
length= 4.0m
