Question: PART ( A ) Each blade on a wind turbine is engineered to produce an effective force through its center of mass that is perpendicular

PART(A)Each blade on a wind turbine is engineered to produce an effective force through its center of mass that is perpendicular to its long axis. (Figure 1) The magnitude of the force produced by each blade in a wind of speed vv is F=(40.0kg/s)vF=(40.0kg/s)v.If the center of mass of each blade is rr =11.2 mm , what is U1U1, the total work done by the wind turbine's blades, in a wind of speed vv =8.80 m/sm/s after 10 revolutions?
PART(B)A brake system is tested by rotating a tire and measuring the number of rotations required for the brake system to bring the tire to a stop. (Figure 2) The tire's radius is RR =50.0 cmcm and the brake system's radius is rr =19.3 cmcm . A moment of MM =15.7 NmNm is applied to the tire for 5 rotations before the brake system is applied. The brake system is composed of two pads that are pushed out against the drum with a force that increases as the tire rotates and is described by F=(10.0)NF=(10.0)N.If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the brake pads and the outer ring of the brake system is kk =0.550, how many rotations, nn, will the tire go through before coming to a stop?
