a) By defining the coefficient of friction, which gives the variation of velocity with height,

 Interpret the above graph for α=0.3 in comparison with α=0.1.

 b) An anemometer at a height of 200 m from the ground measures 16 m/s wind speed. -5oC of air

 for the coefficient of friction of 0.25, assuming that it is at temperature; installed at a height of 50 meters

 and calculate the power that can be obtained from an ideal wind turbine generator with a diameter of 20 m.

 (Ignore the variation of temperature with altitude).
