A rotor ship has two cylindrical rotors each of 10 m length and 3 m diameter. The ship moves due north at 30 Km/hr when a 50 Km/hr east wind is blowing. If the circulation induced by rotating each cylinder is 300 m2/s, calculate the propulsive force on the ship. Assume the distance between rotors is large enough to ignore any interaction between them.
