Question 1159276: Wind farms are a source of renewable energy found around the world. The power P (in kilowatts) generated by a wind turbine varies directly as the cube of the wind speed v (in meters per second). If a turbine generates 600kW in a 13 m/s wind, how much power does it generate in a 14 m/s wind?

.

According to the problem statement, the formula is    


    P(14) = 600%2A%2814%2F13%29%5E3 = 749.36 kW = 750 kW (approximately)    ANSWER

Solved.
