Fundamentals of Physical Geography
The amount of power that can be generated by wind is determined by the equation
where P is the power in watts, D is the density, and S is the wind speed in meters per second (m/sec). Because D = 1.293 kg/m3, we can rewrite the equation as
How much power (in watts) is generated by the following wind speeds: 2 meters per second, 6 meters per second, 10 meters per second, 12 meters per second?
The amount of power is generated by the following wind speeds: 2 meter per second, 6 meter per second, 10 meter per second, and 12 meter per second.
The amount of power that can be generated by wind is determined by the equation:
Here,
The density of air is approximately
Substitute
For 2 m/s, substitute
For 6 m/s, substitute
