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

100 kW

B

10 kW

C

1kW

D

1000 kW

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`P = ((m)/(t)) gh= 100 xx 10 xx 100= 10^(5)W= 100kW`
