From a waterfall, water is falling down at the rate of 100kg / s on the blades of turbine. If the height of the fall is 100 m , then the power delivered to the turbine is approximately equal to

A

100W

B

10kW

C

100kW

D

20kW

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Power = Force `xx` Velocity = mgv
`=900xx10xx0.5=4500` watt
`therefore P = (4500)/(750)=6 H.P.`
