# Given Values:
Wind Speed: 10 m/s
Blade Radius: 40 m
Cp: 0.4
# Formula:
Power Output = 0.5 * 1.225 * (pi * r^2) * (v^3) * eff / 1000
Power Output = 0.5 * 1.225 * (pi * r^2) * (v^3) * eff / 1000
# Substitution:
Power Output = 0.5 * 1.225 * (pi * 40^2) * (10^3) * 0.4 / 1000
Power Output = 0.5 * 1.225 * (pi * 40^2) * (10^3) * 0.4 / 1000
Final Answer: 1,231.5043 kW
