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 answer
    B
    $8.1 \mathrm{~kW}$
  • 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'.
