Answer

a) $8$ b) $4$ c) $P=605,000W$ $P=2,042,000W$ $P=9,454,000W$

Work Step by Step

a) $P=kA(2v)^3=8kAv^3$ b) If only the length is doubled, the area swept becomes $A_2=\pi(2r)^2=4\pi r^2=4A_1$ is doubled. Therefore, we have $P=k4Av^3=4kAv^3$ c) $P=(0.214kg/m^3)(900\pi m^2)(10m/s)^3=605,000W$ $P=(0.214kg/m^3)(900\pi m^2)(15m/s)^3=2,042,000W$ $P=(0.214kg/m^3)(900\pi m^2)(25m/s)^3=9,454,000W$
