When you draw the free-body diagram for a single object, you must sketch

1.the forces that act on the single object along with any resulting accelerations that the object experiences.
2.only the forces that act on the object.
3.the forces that act on the object and the forces that the object exerts on other objects.
4.only those forces that the single object exerts on other objects.

The electronic controls of a medical imaging device are housed in a compartment such that it dissipates heat to the ambient from a flat vertical plate surface, 15 cm wide and 20 cm high, to which fins are attached so as to enhance the heat transfer and improve the cooling of the electric systems. If 10 fins made of aluminum with a rectangular cross section are attached that extend over the full vertical height of the plate surface, where each fin is 0.15 cm thick with equal spacing of 1.5 cm along the width of the plate, determine the optimum fin height and the rate of heat transfer to the surrounding air. The room air temperature is at 20°C and the base temperature of the plate surface to which the fins are attached should not exceed 70°C.

GIVEN
? An electronic device with vertical aluminum fins in air
? Air temperature (T?) = 20°C
