Height of water dam in hydroelectric power station is 20m. How much water, in 1 second, should fall on turbine, so that 1 MW power is generated? (g=10ms^(-2))

Answer»

`5000kg`
`10,000kg`
`500kg`
`7500kg`

Solution :`h=20m,P=1MW=10^(6)W,t=1s`,
`g=10ms^(-2)`
`therefore P=(W)/(t)=(mgh)/(t)`
`therefore m=(Pxxt)/(gxxh)=(10^(6)XX1)/(10xx20)=5000kg`
