Graph below represents the force on a 12 kg air mass as it passes through a jet engine. Immediately after entering the engine, the force is 9,039 N, and the force tapers linearly to zero once the air reaches the back of the engine 2.3 m later. If the air enters the engine with velocity 252 m/s, what is its exit velocity?
(Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
The wind velocity on the upstream side of a wind turbine is 4 m/s. If the turbine extracts 26% of the available kinetic energy, what is the wind velocity on the downstream side of the turbine in m/s? Please include one decimal place in your answer.
