(II) Water is stored in an artificial lake created by a dam (Fig. 15–27). The water depth is 48 m at the dam, and a steady flow rate of 32 m³/s is maintained through hydro- electric turbines installed near the base of the dam. How much electrical power can be produced?

(I) Solar cells (Fig. 15–26) can produce about 40 W of elec- tricity per square meter of surface area if directly facing the Sun. How large an area is required to supply the needs of a house that requires 24 kWh/day? Would this fit on the roof of an average house? (Assume the Sun shines about 9h/day.) FIGURE 15-26 Problem 53.
(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? (ID Water is stored in an artificial lake created by a lam
