An electronic circuit board is the shape of a flat plate 0.3 m × 0.3 m in plan-form and dissipates 15 W. It is placed in operation on an insulated surface in a horizontal position or at an angle of 45 degrees to horizontal, in both cases; it is in still air at 25°C. If the circuit fails above 60°C, determine if the two proposed installations are safe.
