The vertical drop of water in a hydroelectric power plant is 155m (See figure below). Water flows through the plant and into the lower river at the rate of 425m/s. Assume the overall efficiency of the plant as 80%. Density of water d is equal to 1000kg/m3 Acceleration due to gravity g is equal to 9.81m/s2. Ignore the viscous losses in the flowing water.

A hydroelectric power facility converts the gravitational potential energy of water behind a dam to electric energy. What is the gravitational potential energy relative to the generators of a lake of volume 35 km3km3, (3.50×10133.50×1013 kg) given that the lake has an average height of 63 m above the generators?

1. A person with a remote mountain cabin plans to install her own hydroelectric plant. A nearby stream is 3.00 m wide and 0.500 m deep. Water flows at 1.20 m/s over the brink of a waterfall 5.00 m high. The manufacturer promises only 25.0% efficiency in converting the potential energy of the water-Earth system into electric energy. Find the power she can generate. (Large scale hydroelectric plants, with a much larger drop, are more efficient.) Hint: Density of water...
Please help me thanks.
The vertical drop of water in a hydroelectric power plant is 125m (See figure below). Water flows through the plant and into the lower river at the rate of 325m/s. Assume the overall efficiency n of the plant as 80%. Density of water d is equal to 1000kg/mº. Acceleration due to gravity g is equal to 9.81m/s2. Ignore the viscous losses in the flowing water.

25. In a hydroelectric dam, water falls 25 m and then spins a turbine to generate electricity. a) What is U, of 1.0 kg of water? b) Suppose the dam is 80% efficient at converting the water's potential energy to electrical energy. How many kilograms of water must pass through the turbines each second to generate 50 MW of electricity? This is a typical value for a small hydroelectric dam.
