Norsepower have installed 2 rotating cylinders as rotor sails on a Maersk tanker. The rotors provide a lift force in the same way as proposed by Flettner. The rotors are 24m long and 3.5m in diameter. They rotate at 2.0 revs per second. If the ship is stationary, but experiences a cross wind of Sm/s, how much thrust (i.e. lift force) will a single rotor generate. Assume the density of air is 1.22 kgm³. Give your answer in Newtons.
