It is desired to design a cup anemometer for wind speed, similar to Fig. P7.91, with a more sophisticated approach than the “average-torque” method of Prob. P7.91. The design should achieve an approximately linear relation between wind velocity and rotation rate in the range 20 < U < 40 mi/h, and the anemometer should rotate at about 6 r/s at U = 30 mi/h. All speci?cations—cup diameter D, rod length L, rod diameter d, the bearing type, and all materials—are to be selected through your analysis. Make suitable assumptions about the instantaneous drag of the cups and rods at any given angle
