Head pressure from hundreds of feet of depth behind a dam drives the mighty generators below. Divide the depth in inches by 27.71-inches/psi, or the depth in feet by 2.31-feet/psi which are the English unit conversion factors. The result is the water head pressure expressed in psi.
Answer:
44.8 m/s
Explanation:
Use the Initial Speed Formula:
InS = 2(d/t) - Final Speed
InS = 2(55/1,25) - 43.2
InS = 2.44 - 43,2
InS = 88 - 43,2
InS = 44.8 m/s
