Question 108753This question is from textbook
: Under certain conditions, the power P, in watts per hour, generated by a windmill with winds blowing v miles per hour is given by
P(v)= 0.015v^3 a) find the power generated by 15-mph b) how fast must the wind blow in order to generate 120 watts of power in one hour?
I put in 15 for x on the first part. second part I left the equation solved for a and divided by 120. I don't think this resulted the correct answers, help.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! the power P, in watts per hour, generated by a windmill with winds blowing v miles per hour is given by
P(v)= 0.015v^3
a) find the power generated by 15-mph
P(15) = 0.015v^3 = 0.015(15^3) = 50.625 watts
-------------------------
b) how fast must the wind blow in order to generate 120 watts of power in one hour?
120 = 0.015v^3
120/0.015 = v^3
v = 20 mph
