Water falls through a height of 60 m at a rate of flow of 1.0x10^5 per minute. Calculate the amount of power generated at the base of the water fall (the mass of 1 litre of water is 1 kg)

Potential energy=mass*gravity*height
=weight*height.
Weight=density*gravity*volume.
Volume=rate of flow=1.0*10^5litres/min.
That =100m3/min.
=1.7m3/s(In SI units).
Weight=1000*1.7*10=17000Nm.
Potential energy=17000*60.
=1.02*10^6Joules.
=1.02*10^3KJ
