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.
I hope it helps you!
Answer:
Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)
Explanation:
We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.
Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:
density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.
- And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.
