A passive solar house that is losing heat to the outdoors at 3^∘ C at an average rate of 50,000 kJ / h is maintained at 22^∘ C at all times during a winter night for 10 h. The house is to be heated by 50 glass containers, each containing 20 L of water that is heated to 80^∘ C during the day by absorbing solar energy. A thermostat controlled 15 kW backup electric resistance heater turns on whenever necessary to keep the house at 22^∘ C. Determine how long the electric heating system was on that n
