The power P delivered by a windmill whose blades sweep in a circle of diameter D by a wind of speed v is proportional to the square of the diameter and the cube of the wind speed. Show that this dependence on diameter and wind speed exist when 100% energy transfer takes place. Also show that
`P=pi/8 rhoD^(2)v^(3)`
Where is `rho` the density of air.

The figure shows the commonly observed decrease in diameter of a water stream as it falls from a tap. The tap has internal diameter D_(0) and is connected toa large tank of water. The surface of the water is at a height b above the end of the tap. By considering the dynamics of a thin "cylinder" of water in the steam answer the following: (ignore any reistance to the flow and any effects of surface tansion, given rho_(w) = density of water) The equation for the water speed v as a funcation of the distance x below the tap will be:

The human ciculatory system can be thought of as a closed system of interconnecting pipes through which fluid is continuously circulated by two pumps the two pumps the right and left verticles of the heart, work as simple two-stroke force pumps. The muscles of the heart regulate the force by contracting and relaxing. the contraction (systole) lasts about 0.2s and a complete systole/diastole (contraction/relaxation) cycle lasts about 0.8s. For flood pressures and speeds in the normal range. the volume flow rate of blood through a blood vessel is directly proportional tot he pressure difference over a length of the vessel and to the fourth power of the radius of the vessel. The total mechanical energy per unit volume of blood just as it leaves the heart is E//V=rhogh+P+rhov^(2) Q. Which of the following is a way to achieve approximately a 45% increase in the volume flow rate of blood through a blood vessel?
