The blades of a windmill sweep out a circle of area A. If the wind flows at a velocity v perpendicular to the circle, then power developed by air is

a
12AρV
b
12Aρv2
c
12Aρv3
d
2Aρv3

detailed solution

Correct option is C

m = Mass flow rate of air through the blades = ρ(Av). It is assumed that air comes to rest after passing through blades. The rate at which air is losing kinetic energy =  Power developed =
