The potential energy of the water is ...

The potential energy of the water is converting into electric energy by making it to fall from a height of 100 m . How many 60 W bulbs can be lit by this electric energy if `2xx 10^(6)` kg of water is falling in 1 hour .

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we need to calculate the potential energy of the water falling from a height and then determine how many 60 W bulbs can be powered by that energy. ### Step 1: Calculate the Potential Energy (PE) The formula for potential energy is given by: \[ PE = mgh \] Where: - \( m \) = mass of the water (in kg) - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)) ...
