14. (Twidell and Weir, Problem 4.5, part b) Calculate the length of the longest day and
shortest day at latitudes of (i) 12°; and (ii) 60°.
15. Toowoomba has a latitude and longitude of approximately 27°33'30" (south) and
151°52'45" (east) respectively. Toowoomba is in a time zone that is 10 hours ahead of
GMT. a) Find the angle between the beam and the normal to the collector's surface at
11am on 11 June if the collector is oriented directly towards the equator and it has a
slope of 20°. b). Estimate the daily insolation on a horizontal plane in Toowoomba on
a clear day in early April.
