Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a

great amount of angular momentum when rotating. A wind turbine has a total of 3 blades. Each blade has a mass of m = 5500 kg distributed uniformly along its length and extends a distance r = 45 m from the center of rotation. The turbine rotates with a frequency of f = 11 rpm.
(a) Enter an expression for the total moment of inertia of the wind turbine about its axis of rotation, in terms of the defined quantities.
(b) Calculate the total moment of inertia of the wind turbine about its axis, in units of kilogram meters squared.
(c) Enter an expression for the angular momentum of the wind turbine, in terms of the defined quantities. sig.gif?tid=0N86-9A-18-43-94ED-17253
(d) Calculate the angular momentum of the wind turbine, in units of kilogram meters squared per second.

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Each blade is in the form of rod with axis near one end of the rod

Moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x m l²

where m is mass of the blade

l is length of each blade.

Total moment of moment of 3 blades

= 3 x\frac{1}{3}  x m l²

ml²

2 )

Given

m = 5500 kg

l = 45 m

Putting these values we get

moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x 5500 x 45 x 45

= 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

Moment of inertia of 3 blades

= 3 x 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

= 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m²

c )

Angular momentum

= I x ω

I is moment of inertia of turbine

ω is angular velocity

ω = 2π f

f is frequency of rotation of blade

d )

I = 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² ( Calculated )

f = 11 rpm ( revolution per minute )

= 11 / 60 revolution per second

ω = 2π f

=  2π  x  11 / 60 rad / s

Angular momentum

= I x ω

111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² x  2π  x  11 / 60 rad / s

= 128.23 x 10⁵  kgm² s⁻¹ .

musickatia [10]
<span>The answer is letter C.

Reflecting telescopes are more powerful than refracting telescopes. These are also called as reflectors which serves an optical telescope that uses a single or combination of curved mirrors. These mirrors then reflect light and form an image. It is designed for very large diameter objects and are mostly considered as major telescopes in the field of astronomy. They were used as an alternative for refracting telescopes during the 17th century because they suffer less chromatic aberrations than a refracting telescope does. <span>

Betty (mass 40 kg), standing on slippery ice, catches her leaping dog (mass 15 kg) moving horizontally at 3.0 m/s. Show that the
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

v = 2.18m/s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of Betty and her dog you take into account the law of momentum conservation. The total momentum before Betty catches her dog must be equal to the total momentum after.

Then you have:

Mv_{1o}+mv_{2o}=(M+m)v        (1)

M: mass Betty = 40kg

m: mass of the dog = 15kg

v1o: initial speed of Betty = 3.0m/s

v2o: initial speed of the dog = 0 m/s

v: speed of both Betty and her dog = ?

You solve the equation (1) for v:

v=\frac{Mv_{1o}+mv_{2o}}{M+m}=\frac{(40kg)(3.0m/s)+(15kg)(0m/s)}{40kg+15kg}\\\\v=2.18m/s

The speed fo both Betty and her dog is 2.18m/s

A tank contains 350 liters of fluid in which 10 grams of salt is dissolved. Brine containing 1 gram of salt per liter is then pu
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

A(t) = -340e^{-t/70} + 350

Explanation:

Since fluid is pumping in and out at the same rate (5L/min), the total fluid volume in the tank stays constant at 350L. Only the amount of salt and its concentration changed overtime.

Let A(t) be the amount of salt (g) at time t and C(t) (g/L) be the concentration at time t

A(0) = 10 g

Brine with concentration of 1g/L is pouring in at the rate of 5L/min so the salt income rate is 5 g/min

The well-mixed solution is pouring out at the rate of 5L/min at concentration C(t) so the salt outcome rate is 5C g/min

But the concentration is total amount of salt over 350L constant volume

C = A / 350

Therefore our rate of change for salt A' is

A' = 5 - 5A/350 = 5 - A/70

This is a first-order linear ordinary differential equation and it has the form of y' = a + by. The solution of this is

y = ce^{bt} + \frac{a}{b}

So A = ce^{\frac{-t}{70}} + \frac{5}{1/70} = ce^{-t/70} + 350

with A(0) = 10

c + 350 = 10

c = 10 - 350 = -340

A(t) = -340e^{-t/70} + 350
