The neighborhood cat likes to sleep on the roof of our shed in the backyard. The roofing surface is weath- ered galvanized sheet metal (s = 0.65, aS = 0.8). Consider a cool spring day when the ambient air tem- perature is 10°C and the convection coefficient can

between the surface and ambient temperatures.
Assume the sky temperature is -40°C.
(a) Assuming the backside of the roof is well insu- lated, calculate the roof temperature when the

solar irradiation is 600 W/m2. Will the cat enjoy sleeping under these conditions?
(b) Consider the case when the backside of the roof is not insulated, but is exposed to ambient air with the same convection coefficient relation and experiences radiation exchange with the ground, also at the ambient air temperature. Cal- culate the roof temperature and comment on whether the roof will be a comfortable place for the cat to snooze.
