This question is related to density where 16.7 kW power is used.

What is Density?

Density is defined as mas per unit volume. It is denoted by  ρ

We know the density of water is 1000kg/m³.

The  given volume is  10m³. we have to find the mass. i.e. 10000 kg.

We know that [tex]Density =\frac{mass}{Volume}[/tex]

Mass = Density x Volume

Mass = 1000kg/ m³ x 10m³ = 10000kg.

Here,  We know that work against gravity is mgh.

So, 10000 kg x 10 m/s² x 50m  = 5000000J.

But only one fifth of its energy is used.

5000000 / 5 = 1000000

Now we have the work done and time, so lets solve power.

Power=work done /time

1000000/60sec.

Power =16666.67 or 16.7kW
