At a shore facing the Pacific Ocean, the average wind speed was measured to be 10 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power generation potential of a wind turbine with 45-m-diameter blades in that shore. Moreover, compute for the actual electric power generation assuming that the overall efficiency is 28 percent. Use 1.25 kg/m³ for the air density. Draw your schematic/ free-body diagram.
