How much mass is converted into tenergy per day in a nuclear power plant operated at `10^(7)` kW?A. 9.6 gB. 9.63 kgC. 8.6 gD. 7 g

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) `P= 10^(7) kW =10^(10) W=10^(10)Js^(-1)`
Time,t=1 day `=24xx60xx60 s`
Energy produced per day
`E=Pt=10^(10)xx24xx60xx60=864xx10^(-3)kg=9.6 g`
As `E=mc^(2)`
`:.m=(E )/(c^(2))=(864xx10^(12)J)/((3xx10^(8))^(2)ms^(-1))=9.6xx10^(-3) kg=9.6 g`
