The return trip, into the wind, takes 5 hours. Find both the speed of the jet with no wind and the speed of the wind. 13. The electrical power P generated by a windmill varies jointly as the square of the diameter d of the area swept out by the blades and the cube of the wind velocity v. If a windmill with a 10 foot diameter and a 20 mile per hour wind generates 8000 watts, how much power would be generated if the blades swept out an area 20 feet in diameter and the wind was 10 miles per hour? Section 6.3 14. A total of 10,000 is invested in three mutual funds. In one year the first fund grew by 4, the second by 5, and the third by 8. Total earnings for the year were 595. The amount invested in the third fund was 1000 more than the amount invested in the first fund.
