The solar energy strikes the deck at the rate of 1400 W on every square metre. The steel plate of the deck is 0.010 m thick.
Steel has a density of 7800 kg / m³ and a specific heat capacity of 450 J / (kg °C).
13% of the solar energy striking the deck is absorbed and the rest is reflected.
Using these figures, calculate
1. how many joules of solar energy are absorbed by 1.0 m² of the deck in 1.0 s,
number of joules
