Answer:

electric energy ( power ) = 300000 W

Explanation:

given data

mechanical (hydroelectric) energy = 120 MJ/min = 2000000 J/s

efficiency = 15 % = 0.15

solution

we know that Efficiency of electric engine is expression  as

Efficiency = Mechanical energy ÷ electric energy  ......................1

and here dam electrical power output is

put here value in equation 1

electric energy ( power ) = Efficiency × Mechanical energy ( power )

electric energy ( power ) = 0.15 × 2000000 J/s

electric energy ( power ) = 300000 W
