Problem \# 5
A fan has blades that are flat plates in the shape of isosceles trapezoids and on the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Dimensions:
Root dimension \( B D=10\mathrm{~cm}\).
Tip dimension \( A C=4\mathrm{~cm}\).
They extend from a radius of 10 cm at the root, +026 cm at the tip. They are attached to a shaft rotating at 120 rpm . We would like to determine the torque needed to operate the fan. Neglect any friction related to other components of the fan. Air temperature is \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Determine the moment \( d \mathrm{~m}\) at a radius \( r \), where \(10\mathrm{~cm}
