Question
Of waterfalls with a height of more than 50 m, Niagara Falls in Canada has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world. The total average flow rate of the falls is 2.80×103 m3/s and its average height is 52.0 m (Niagara Falls Live, 2017).
Given that the density of water is 1.00×103 kg/m3, calculate the average power output of Niagara Falls.

- A tank is full of water. Find the work W required to pump the water out of the spout. (Use 9.8 m/s² for g. Use 1000 kg/m³ as the weight density of water.) |--4m+ W = 3 m † 4 m ↓ 9 marrow_forwardA water intake at a pump storage reservoir (see the figure below) has a cross-sectional area of 0.637 m². The water flows in at a speed of 0.470 m/s. At the generator building, at distance D = 156 m below the intake point, the cross-sectional area is smaller than at the intake and the water flows out at 9.44 m/s.
