How do you calculate mass using Newton’s 2nd Law?

deff fn [24]

The 2nd Law says F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is mass and a is acceleration. Earth's gravity is an acceleration, 9.8m/s^2. So you can solve the equation for mass, m=F/a, or m=F/9.8 where you've measured the force (weight) in Newtons.

Answer:

Power output: W=1426.9MW

Explanation:

The power output of the falls is given mainly by its change in potential energy:

$Q=-P_{tot}=-(P_{2}-P_{1})$

The potential energy for any point can be calculated as:

$P=m*g*h$

If we consider the base of the falls to be the reference height, at point 2 h=0, so P2=0, and height at point 1 equals 52m:

$Q=P_{1}=m*g*h$

If we replace m with the mass rate M we obtain the rate of change in potential energy over time, so the power generated:

$W=M*g*h=2.8*10^{3}m^{3}/s*1*10^{3}kg/m^{3}*9.8m/s^{2}*52m =1426.9MW$

The concept required to solve this problem is linked to inductance. This can be defined as the product between the permeability in free space by the number of turns squared by the area over the length. Recall that Inductance is defined as the opposition of a conductive element to changes in the current flowing through it. Mathematically it can be described as

$L = \frac{\mu N^2 A}{l}$
