Part A If we model a blade as a point mass at the midpoint of the blade, what is the inward force necessary to provide each blade's centripetal acceleration? |
Centripetal force required
Where m is the mass
v is the velocity and
r is the distance of blade from centre
2.512 radian/sec
v = 40*2.512= 100.48m/s
F=3.03×106 N

A wind turbine has 12,000 kg blades that are 41 m long. The blades spin at 22 rpm . If we model a blade as a point mass at the midpoint of the blade, what is the inward force necessary to provide each blade's centripetal acceleration?
Review Icon Modern wind turbines are larger than they appear, and despite their apparently lazy motion, the speed of the blades tips can be quite high-many times higher than the wind speed. A turbine has blades 51 m long that spin at 14 rpm (Figure 1) Part A At the tip of a blade, what is the speed? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
