(a) A shirtless rider under a circus tent feels the heat radiating from the sunlit portion of the tent. Calculate the temperature of the tent canvas based on the following information: The shirtless riders skin temperature is 34.0C and has an emissivity of 0.970. The exposed area of skin is 0.400 m2 . He receives radiation at the rate of 20.0 Whalf what you would calculate if the entire region behind him was hot. The rest of the surroundings are at 34.0C . (b) Discuss how this situation would change if the sunlit side of the tent was nearly pure white and if the rider was covered by a white tunic.
