Water is falling on the blades of a turbine at the rate of 8 × 102 kg per minute, height of fall is 50 m. Calculate the power given to turbine. (g = 10 m/s2).
Given,
Height of fall, h = 50 m
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s2
Mass of water, m = 8 × 102 kg
Time taken, t = 1 min = 60 *
Therefore, the power given to turbine
= 6.67 × 103W
