Question: Problem 2 ( 1 0 Points - show all work ) An anemometer mounted 1 0 m above a surface with crops, hedges, and shrubs,

Problem 2(10 Points - show all work)
An anemometer mounted 10m above a surface with crops, hedges, and shrubs, (friction coefficient of 0.20) shows a windspeed of5 m/s. Assuming 15C and 1atm pressure, determine the fol lowing for a wnid turbine with hub height 80 mand rotor diameter of 80 m. a. Estimate the wind speed and the specific power in the wind (W/m?) at the highest point that the rotor blade reaches. Assume no air density change over these
heights
b. Repeat (a) at the lowest point at which the blade falls.
c. Compare the ratio of wind power at the two elevations using results of(a) and (b).
