a) A wind turbine with two or four hollow hemispherical cups connected to a pivot is
commonly uscd to measure wind speed. Consider a wind turbine with four 8-cm-
diameter cups with a center-to-center distance of 40 cm, as shown in Fig. PI1-35.
The pivot is stuck as a result of some malfunction, and the cups stop rotating. For
a wind speed of 15 m/s and air density of 1.25 kg/m3, determine the maximum
torque this turbine applies on the pivot.

Dandelion seeds have a plume made of thin
filaments that create a very large drag coefficient
due to subtle aerodynamics as the air moves
through and past the plume. The slower terminal
speed and longer time in the air provide greater
dispersal than would be possible for simple
spherical seeds. A 0.63 mg seed has a plume with
a cross-section area of 13 mm, and it falls with a
terminal speed of 40 cm/s.
What will be the speed of an airplane that normally flies at 200 km/h when it encounters a 80-km/h wind from the side (at a right angle to the airplane).

- .An airport has occasionally been closed to large planes because of weather conditions that do not entail storms or low visibility. Instead, the conditions combine to create an unusually low air density. Explain why such an air density would make it difficult for a large, heavy plane to take off, especially if the runway were not exceptionally long.arrow_forwardA marksman fires a practice round from A toward a target B. If the target diameter is 140 mm and the target center is at the same altitude as the end of the rifle barrel, determine the range of "shallow" launch angles for which the round will strike the target. Neglect aerodynamic drag and assume that the round is directed along the vertical centerline of the target. (Note: The word "shallow" indicates a low-flying trajectory for the round.)
