    any one type with a neat sketch.
    7. Determine the angle made by beam radiation with the normal to a
    flat panel at New Delhi on Dec 5 at 1000 hours (LAT). The flat
    panel is tilted an angle of 300 with the horizontal and is pointing
    due south. The latitude and longitude for New Delhi is 20 035’ N,
    77012’E

    latitude 23015’N, longitude 77030’E at 1230 IST on June 22,
    Equation of time correction = - (1’01’’). (Note : In IST longitude is
    82.50)
    9. Calculate the day length on a horizontal surface at New Delhi
    (28035’ N, 77012’E) on Dec 1.
    10. Calculate the sun’s altitude angle and azimuth angle on
    August 1st for a location at 400N latitude at 7.30 am solar time.
    11. Calculate the sun’s altitude angle and azimuth angle at 40 0N
    latitude at 3.30 pm IST on Nov 21st.
    12. Determine the average value of solar radiation on a
    horizontal surface for June 22, at the latitude of 10 0N. Given values
    of constants ‘a’ and ‘b’ are 0.3 and 0.51 respectively and the ratio
    n--/N=0.55
    13. Estimate the daily global radiation on a horizontal surface at
    Ahmedabad (220N, 73010’E) as March 16 if the average sunshine
    hours per day are 9.5. The values of constants ‘a’ and ‘b’ for
    Ahmedabad are 0.28 and 0.48 respectively.
