1.Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. In the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per year, whereas the second site the wind blows at 10m/s for 2000 hours per year. Assuming wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity, determine which is a better site for wind power generation. Hint: note that the mass flow rate of air is proportional to wind velocity.
