Given : P is directly proportional to cube of windspeed S\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P ∝ s⌃3
\n" ); document.write( " = >
\n" ); document.write( "P = k*s⌃3 , where k is a constant\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) k = {P/s⌃3}\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) speed s = 20 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( " Power P = 96W
\n" ); document.write( " k = {96 / 20⌃3} = 96/8000 = 0.012
\n" ); document.write( " k = 0.012\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c) s = 30
\n" ); document.write( " k = 0.012
\n" ); document.write( " P = k*s⌃3 = 0.012*30⌃3 = 324
\n" ); document.write( " P = 324 W\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
