document.write( "Question 980442: The power produced by a windmill varies directly with the square of its diameter and the cube of the wind speed. A fan with a diameter of 2.5 meters produces 560 watts of power if the wind speed is 4 m/s. How much power would a similar fan produce if it had a diameter of 6 meters and the wind speed was 5 m/s? \n" ); document.write( "
