Answer:
1. 0.574 kJ/kg
2. 315.7 MW
Explanation:
1. The mechanical energy per unit mass of the river is given by:
Where:
Ek is the kinetic energy
Ep is the potential energy
v is the speed of the river = 3 m/s
g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h is the height = 58 m
Hence, the total mechanical energy of the river is 0.574 kJ/kg.
2. The power generation potential on the river is:
Therefore, the power generation potential of the entire river is 315.7 MW.

Initially there were 10 bulbs of 60 Watt power
So total power of all bulbs = 60 * 10 = 600 W
now each bulb used for 4 hours daily
so total energy consumed daily
now we have total power consumed in 1 year
cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh
so total cost of energy for one year
Now if all 60 Watt bulbs are replaced by 30 Watt bulbs
So total power of all bulbs = 30 * 10 = 300 W
now each bulb used for 4 hours daily
so total energy consumed daily
now we have total power consumed in 1 year
cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh
so total cost of energy for one year
total money saved in 1 year
