Question:

9.36 Rotating cylinders have been proposed as a means of ship propulsion as early as 1924. An original design used two rotors, each 10 ft in diameter and 50 ft high, rotating at up to 800 rpm. Calculate the maximum lift and drag forces that act on each rotor in a 30-mph wind. Estimate the power needed to spin the rotors and propel the ship at 800 rpm.
