Answer:
the power generation potential is 2.705 x 10⁶ J/s.
Explanation:
Given;
height below the free surface of a large water reservoir, h = 120 m
mass flow rate of the water, m' = 2300 kg/s
The power generation potential is calculated as;
[tex]Power = \frac{Energy}{time} = \frac{F\times h}{t} = \frac{(mg) \times h}{t} = \frac{m}{t}\times gh = m' \times gh\\\\Power = m' \times gh\\\\Power = 2300 \ kg/s \ \times \ 9.8 \ m/s^2 \ \times \ 120 \ m\\\\Power = 2.705 \times 10^6 \ J/s[/tex]
Therefore, the power generation potential is 2.705 x 10⁶ J/s.
