Question
(II) Energy may be stored by pumping water to a high reservoir
when demand is low and then releasing it to drive turbines
during peak demand. Suppose water is pumped to a lake
115 m above the turbines at a rate of 1.00 × 10° kg/s for
10.0 h at night. (a) How much energy (kWh) is needed to do
this each night? (b) If all this energy is released during a 14-h
day, at 75% efficiency, what is the average power output?
