The water passing over a water fall drops about 184 m. How much internal energy is produced per kilogram as a result of the fall ? (in kJ/kg)
Supreeta N.
Water flows over Victoria Falls, which is 100 m high at an average rate of 1.4 X 10^6 kg/s. If all the potential energy of the water were converted into electric energy, how much power could be produced by these falls?
Prabhu R.
Each second, 1200 $\mathrm{m}^{3}$ of water passes over a waterfall 100 $\mathrm{m}$ high. Three-fourths of the kinetic energy gained by the water in falling is transferred to electrical energy by a hydroelectric generator. At what rate does the generator produce electrical energy? (The mass of 1 $\mathrm{m}^{3}$ of water is 1000 $\mathrm{kg.}$ .
