SOLUTION: The wind speed, s, (in miles per hour) needed to generate W watts of electric power is given by this formula: S= (W) 1/3 (1.5 X 10^-2) How fast would the wind

Question 159390: The wind speed, s, (in miles per hour) needed to generate W watts of electric power is given by this formula:

S= (W) 1/3
(1.5 X 10^-2)
How fast would the wind have to blow to generate 180 watts of power?
Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
S= (W) 1/3
(1.5 X 10^-2)
If this is the equatio:
S=[W/(1.5X10^-2)]*1/3 THEN:
180=[W*66.67]*1/3
180=200W
W=180/200=.9 MPH.
or:
S=W(1/3)/(1.5*10^-2)
180=W/3*66.67
180=66.67W/3
180=22.22W
W=180/22.22
W=8.1 MPH.
