How much mass is converted into tenergy per day in a nuclear power plant operated at `10^(7)` kW?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `m=?`
`P=10^(7)kW=10^(10)W=10^(10)Js^(-1).`
Total energy produced `//`day `=10^(10)xx60xx60xx24`
`=864xx10^(12J`
From `E-mc^(2), m=(E)/(c^(2))=(864xx10^(12))/((3xx10^(8))^(2))`
`=9.6xx10^(-3)kg`
