Q106 / 199 · NEET 2008 (Mains) · Physics
Water falls from a height of $60 \mathrm{~m}$ at the rate of $15 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}$ to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional forces are $10 \%$ of energy. How much power is generated by the turbine? $\left(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\right)$
- A$7.0 \mathrm{~kW}$
- Correct answerB$8.1 \mathrm{~kW}$
- C$10.2 \mathrm{~kW}$
- D$12.3 \mathrm{~kW}$
Solution
$$
P=0.9 \mathrm{gH} \frac{d m}{d t}
$$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
