What is, in MW, the power generated by a turbine that has a power coefficient equal to 0.24 when the wind speed is 10.3 m/s and the blades have a length of 34 m? Round off your answer to 2 decimal places and do not include the unit. (2) What is the length, in meters, of the blades of a turbine that generates 1.3 MW of power when the wind speed is 9.5 m/s. Assume a power coefficient of 0.36. Round off your answer to a whole number (no decimals) and do not include the unit. Using the equation: P= 0.5 * air density * Pie *R^2 * V^3*Cp CP= in MW air density is 1.3 kg/m^3 not 1.22

Question

(1) What is, in MW, the power generated by a turbine that has a power coefficient equal to 0.24 when the wind speed is 10.3 m/s and the blades have a length of 34 m?

Round off your answer to 2 decimal places and do not include the unit. 

(2) 

What is the length, in meters,  of the blades of a turbine that generates 1.3 MW of power when the wind speed is 9.5 m/s. Assume a power coefficient of 0.36.

Round off your answer to a whole number (no decimals) and do not include the unit. 

Using the equation:

P= 0.5 * air density * Pie *R^2 * V^3*Cp

CP= in MW

air density is 1.3 kg/m^3 not 1.22
