Answer:
False ( B )
Explanation:
considering that the wind turbine is a horizontal axis turbine
Power generated/extracted by the turbine can be calculated as
P = n * 1/2 *<em> p</em> *Av^3
where: n = turbine efficiency
<em>p = air density </em>
<em> </em>A = πd^2 / 4
v = speed
From the above equation it can seen that increasing the Blade radius by 10% will increase the Blade Area which will in turn increase the value of the power extracted by the wind turbine
Answer:
0.71 lbf
Explanation:
Use ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
where P is absolute pressure,
V is volume,
n is number of moles,
R is universal gas constant,
and T is absolute temperature.
The absolute pressure is the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the gauge pressure.
P = 32 lbf/in² + 14.7 lbf/in²
P = 46.7 lbf/in²
Absolute temperature is in Kelvin or Rankine:
T = 75 + 459.67 R
T = 534.67 R
Given V = 3.0 ft³, and R = 10.731 ft³ psi / R / lb-mol:
PV = nRT
(46.7 lbf/in²) (3.0 ft³) = n (10.731 ft³ psi / R / lb-mol) (534.67 R)
n = 0.02442 lb-mol
The molar mass of air is 29 lbm/lb-mol, so the mass is:
m = (0.02442 lb-mol) (29 lbm/lb-mol)
m = 0.708 lbm
The weight of 1 lbm is lbf.
W = 0.708 lbf
Rounded to two significant figures, the weight of the air is 0.71 lbf.
Answer:
864 KN
Explanation:
Atmospheric pressure is defined as the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of the air above that surface.

Answer: Increase in the population of lower organisms.
Explanation: Raccoons are mesopredators found in the middle levels of food webs and have critical impacts on the dynamics of many other species. Thus, they greatly contribute to the functioning of the ecosystem.
They are naturally equipped to checkmate the population size of other organism that are below them (i.e., their preys) in the food web. They are; predators, pathogen carriers (such as rabies), and competitors, as they compete with some specialist in the food web.
Hence, the decrease in the population of raccoons will lead to the increase in the population size of lower organisms they prey on in the food web or chain.
