Heat absorbed by the solar collector = Area*Irradiance = 5.3*995 = 5273.5 W

Heat Q in joules absorbed in t hours = Heat used to heat water. That is,

5273.5*t = mCΔT; where mass = volume*density = 1*1000 = 1000 kg

Therefore;
5273.5t = 1000*4186*(65-20) = 188370000
t = 188370000/5273.5 = 35720.11 seconds = 35720.11/(60*60) hours ≈ 9.92 hours.

It will take approximately 9.92 hours.

What do you do if you are measuring something and it is between two whole numbers?
AnnZ [28]
Umm, I guess it really depends on what these numbers are for but what I can say is if you put this under physics then decimals are used very often and help express parts of numbers for this particular problem.And if it's directly between the two then it's 0.50 added to that smaller number,I hope that helps
