Utilizing the answer to the previous
problem, estimate the overall or average
increase in temperature ( ΔT) of the
concrete roof from the energy absorbed
from the sun during a12hour day.
Assume that all of the radiation
absorbed goes into heating the roof. The
specific heat of concrete is about 900
J/kg, and the density is about 2,300
kg/m3
.
a. 7.9 °C
b. 8.9°C
c. 9.9°C
d. 10.9°C
formula: ΔQ = m c ΔT
