Answer:
0.82 m
Explanation:
The ball is in free fall - uniform accelerated motion with constant acceleration downward, (acceleration of gravity). So we can use the following suvat equation to solve the problem:
where
v is the final velocity
u = 4 m/s is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the displacement
At the maximum displacement, v = 0 (the velocity becomes zero). Substituting and solving for s, we find:
The electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW
First we need to calculate the water power, it is given by the formula
WP=ρQgh
Here, ρ=1000 kg/m3 is density of water,Q is the flow rate, g is the gravity, and h is the water head
Therefore, WP=1000*65*9.81*90=57388500 W=57.38 MW
Now the overall efficiency of the hydroelectric power plant is given as
η=
Plugging the values in the above equation
0.84=EP/57.38
EP=48.19 MW
Therefore, the electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW.
