a) Calculate the total net thrust generated by the propeller
b) Calculate the propeller power used to generate thrust.
c) The turbine driving the propeller generates 416 kW of power. Calculate the efficiency of the propeller.
d) Calculate the advance ratio of the propeller from problem 1).
e) What is the importance of the advance ratio for design and use of a propeller?
