Question

1. The flux of energy due to solar radiation is measuredin watts per square meter. The average intensity of sunlightincident on a 125m2, 3.35m deep pond is 615W/m2 over an 8.00 hourday. How much does the pond warm up in one day, assuming that thetemperature remains uniform throughout the pond? Does the amount itwarms up depend on the area of the pond? 1.

Explanation / Answer

Area A= 125 m^ 2

Depth d = 3.35 m

Average intensity I = 615 W / m^ 2

Time t = 8 h

           = 8 * 3600 s = 28800 s
