PROPAGATION OF ERROR You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. if the diameter measurement is off by 0.1m and the anemometer reading is also fluctuating by 0.05m/s. In the design specifications given, if the actual measurement of power via the substation amounts to exactly 530kW and given that the windspeed is off by 0.05m/s, what could have been the error in the measurement of diameter? Your answer must be in 3 decimal places and in correct signs and measurement.  Show complete solution in paper.

PROPAGATION OF ERROR

You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. if the diameter measurement is off by 0.1m and the anemometer reading is also fluctuating by 0.05m/s.

In the design specifications given, if the actual measurement of power via the substation amounts to exactly 530kW and given that the windspeed is off by 0.05m/s, what could have been the error in the measurement of diameter? Your answer must be in 3 decimal places and in correct signs and measurement.
