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.

The French train TGV travels at a speed of 300km/h. If passenger are not to be subject to more than 0.05g acceleration, where g is the acceleration of gravity, what is the minimum radius for any curve in the track?
A race car entering the curved part of the track at the Daytona 500 drops its speed from 85.0 m/s to 80.0 m/s in 2.0 s. If the radius of the curved part of the track is 316.0 m, calculate the total acceleration of the race car at the beginning and ending of reduction of speed.
