At Hoover Dam, the distance the water effectively falls before encountering the electric generators depends on the water levels

in Lake Mead. Assume that the water intakes are effectively 170 m above the electric generators. How much water must pass through the generators to power 2.2 million 35-W Las Vegas lightbulbs for 6.0 minutes?

Answer:

m = 1.6 x 10^{7} kg

Explanation:

It is given :

Height, h = 170 m

Number of light bulbs = 2.2 million

Power of one bulb = 35 W

Time = 6 minutes = 6 x 60 s

                             = 360 s

Now power required for 2.2 million bulbs = 2.2 million x 35 W

                                                                     = 2200000 x 35

                                                                     = 77000000 W

Now we know that Power = energy / time

Therefore, Energy = Power x time

                               = 77000000 x 360

                                = 27720000000

                                = 2.772 x 10^{10} J

For Dam, we know

Energy = m.g.h

where g = acceleration due to gravity

              =  9.8 m/s2

          m = mass of water required

          h = height from which water falls

              = 175 m

Therefore,

E = m.g.h

m = E / (g.h)

   = 2.772 x 10^{10} / ( 9.8 x 175 )

   = 2.772 x 10^{10} / 1715

   = 1.6 x 1010^{7} kg

Therefore mass of water = 1.6 x 10^{7} kg

What is intranet

An intranet is a computer network used exclusively by employees of a company for information exchange, improved communication, teamwork tools, operational systems, and other computing services. Although most of the technology is based on the Internet protocol suite, the word is used in contrast to open networks like the Internet.

A company-wide intranet can serve as a key hub for internal communication and teamwork and serve as a single point of access for both internal and external information. The technologies for local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks are used to create an intranet in its most basic form (WANs). The infrastructure of many contemporary intranets includes search engines, user profiles, blogs, mobile apps with notifications, and event organizing.

An extranet and an intranet are occasionally contrasted. Extranets allow customers, suppliers, and other authorized parties access while intranets are typically only accessible by company personnel. Extranets are private networks that are extended onto the Internet with unique authentication, authorization, and accounting features (AAA protocol).
