Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 2PA
You desire to add a solar heating system to your swimming pool to extend the length of time you can use the pool. For maximum efficiency, the collector should be placed on an angle that will permit the sun’s rays to strike the collector at a 90° angle (Figure 14-24). When the sun is at its highest point of the day, you place a yardstick perpendicular to a flat concrete surface. The stick casts a shadow 3.5 ft long.
At what angle with respect to the ground should the solar collector be placed?
FIGURE 14-24 The sun's rays should strike the face of the solar collector at a 90º angle.

When the voltage source is turned off in a simple circuit
consists of a resistor and an inductor, the rate of decrease of
the current is proportional to the current. The current is 40
amperes at the moment that the switch is off and dies down
to 15 amperes after 0.01 sec. Determine the current in 0.02 sec.
