A perosn decides to use his bath tub water to generate electric power to run a 40W bulb. The bath tub is located at a height of 10m from the ground and it holds 200 litres of water. He instals a water driven wheel generator on the ground. At what rate should the water drain from the bath tub to light the bulb? How long can he keep the bulb on , if bath tub was full initially ? Efficiency of generator is `90%`. Take `g=9.8m//s^(2)`
