6.77 A windmill is operating in a 10 m/s wind that has a den-
sity of 1.2 kg/m³. The diameter of the windmill is 4 m. The
constant-pressure (atmospheric) streamline has a diameter of 3
m upstream of the windmill and 4.5 m downstream. Assume
that the velocity distributions are uniform and the air is incom-
pressible. Determine the thrust on the windmill.
