Homework Statement


Air of density 1.2kgm-3, speed 8ms-1 is incident on blades of wind turbine. Radius of blades 1.5m. After passing blades, wind speed is reduced to 3.0ms-1 and density 1.8kgm-3. How much power is extracted from wind?

Homework Equations


P=1/2 pAv3

The Attempt at a Solution


P=1/2 x 1.2 x pi x 1.52x 83. But I don't know what to do with the information about the wind after passing blades.
