- A windmill has three blades that can extend or retract
depending on the wind speed. Each blade can be approximated by a
rod with a mass of 270 kg that is fixed at one end. The moment of
inertia of each blade is 1/3 ML2, where L is the length
of the blade. Each blade is 9.0 m long.
- Calculate the total moment of inertia of the windmill.
- The wind causes the windmill to rotate with a constant speed in the counterclockwise direction. A sensor on the end of the windmill blade measures the velocity of the end of the windmill to be 8.5 m/s. What is the angular momentum of the windmill while it is rotating?
- To increase the windmill’s rotational speed, its blades retract to a length of 7.0 m while it is spinning. Calculate the angular velocity of the windmill when its blades are retracted if no external forces are applied.

Wind energy is gaining increased attention, so there is in turn an increased interest in windmill technology. Because the windmill blades (vanes) rotate about a central axis, one of the most important physical properties of a windmill is its moment of inertia.

The blades on modern wind turbines are typically 20 to 40 meters in length. Two different turbines have their blades attached with one end at the center of rotation. Consider two points, each at the outer end of a blade on each of the turbines: one with a blade length of 23.6 m, and the other with a blade length of 37.2 m. Each blade is rotating with a constant angular speed of 3.93 rad/s, and the rotation is considered...
