Question

Water falls down a 500 0 m shaft to reach a turbine which generates
electricity How much water must fall per second in order to
generate 1x10 9 watts of power?(Assume 50% efficiency of
conversion and g = 10 m/s2 )​

Dear Student,

for the generation of 109 W we required power input of 2*109 W
water fall persecond be m mgh=2*109m=2*10910*500=4*105 kgRegards
