Answer #1

rotational speed = W = 21 RPM

                                   W = 21 * 2 Pie / 60

                                   w = 21 * 2* 3.14 / 60

                                  w = 2.198 rad /sec = 2.2 rad /sec

An industrial wind turbine has blades that are 35 m long. On a 20?C day, wind at atmospheric pressure blows with a velocity of 12 m/s , and wind in the turbine wake only has a velocity of 11 m/s . (a) Will the turbine’s wake have a smaller, larger, or the same cross-sectional area compared to the area the blades sweep out. Why? Calculate this area. Hint: At velocities much lower than the speed of sound, with small pressure...

There is a wind turbine that has three propeller blades (can be approximated as thin rods) that are 10.0kg in mass and 4.00m in length. The generator is not hooked up, so the blades can move freely. This means the only torque on the blades comes from the wind. The wind starts up and the blades go from rest to 3.00rad/s. a. What is the angular acceleration of the turbine blades? b. What is the moment of inertia (I) of...

A radio-controlled helicopter with rotor length, L = 286 mm and rotor mass (of both blades together) of 51 grams, must spin it's blades up to an angular velocity of about 300 radians per second in order to take off. Assume that for the purpose of determining rotational inertia, that the pair of helicopter blades approximate a long uniform rod rotating through its center. Calculate the net torque needed to bring the rotor up to take-off speed in 0.73 seconds....

Suppose a fan whose blades rotate with a speed corresponding to 900 rpm. East when it is switched off, the fan begins to rotate with uniformly delayed movement and performs 15 turns until it stops completely. The work of the forces (friction) that slows it down is equal to 44.4 J. Calculate: (a) The moment of inertia of the fan. (b) The moment of the forces (badly called torques) that slow down the fan.

The blades on modern wind turbines are typically 20 to 40 meters in length. Two different turbines have their blades attached with one end at the center of rotation. Consider two points, each at the outer end of a blade on each of the turbines: one with a blade length of 20.6 m, and the other with a blade length of 38.4 m. Each blade is rotating with a constant angular speed of 3.73 rad/s, and the rotation is considered...

A wind turbine has a total height of 50m, with 3 equally spaced blades that are 16m in diameter. 1) Create equations modelling the height of points on the tips of blades One, Two and Three. Graph these three curves on one graph. 2) Maintenance can only be done on the blades when the points on blades Two and Three are at the same height. Identify the rotation angles when this would occur as well as the height of the...

6.8 Modern wind turbines are larger than they appear, and despite their apparently lazy motion, the speed of the blades tips can be quite high-many times higher than the wind speed. A turbine has blades 56 m long that spin at 14 rpm . At the tip of a blade, what is the speed? At the tip of a blade, what is the centripetal acceleration?

(a) Calculate how much power it takes to maintain a rotation of 1200 rpms. (b) What is the total angular momentum of the helicopter’s blades during part A (c) When the helicopter blades rotate faster than the maximum rotation, the helicopter will over heat. If one of the blades broke off...
