Problem 3: A wind turbine is shown below. We are interested in the position of the blade tip B. In the x,y coordinate system, the tip of the blade is given by the coordinates (x,y) = (50, 300) ft. However, from a physics / engineering point of view, we may be more interested in the coordinates of the tip of the blade relative to the center of the propeller (this has to do things like velocity and torque). Note that the blade radius is 100 ft (as shown below). At the instant shown, what are the x',y' coordinates of the point B? Is all the information in the problem needed? Why or why not? (20 pts) y 0 x 50 ft B x' 100 ft
