To represent a location on earth surface you need to define its altitude and longitude
angles.
3
Solar zenith and solar incidence angles have the same value for horizontal surface.
At sunset time the value of solar altitude angle is maximum.
4
The angle which represents the inclination of a given surface is the zenith angle

When the absolute value of sun-wall azimuth angle exceeds 90' this means that the sun
rays are reaching the receiving plane.
The solar irradiance and the solar irradiation have the same physical meaning.
In the case of clear sky weather, the beam solar irradiation on a horizontal surface is less
than the diffused irradiation.
The total solar radiation received by a tilted surface is the same as that…

Question 2
You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the…

being turned on?
Question 3 options:
A)
The dust particle will move up and down.
B)
The dust particle will be pushed across the room.
