hoover dam on the colorado river is the highest dam in the united states at 221 m, with an output of 1300 mw. the dam generates electricity with water taken from a depth of 100 m and an average flow rate of 665 m3/s.

Respuesta :

The pressure of the dam water is  P = 8.47 ×[tex]10^8[/tex] W

Given : Length of the dam = 221 m

And the output = 1300 MW

The dam generates electricity and thus the length of that is 100 meters

Rate of flow = 665 m/s

P = Δ F / ΔT

Also pressure × Q = Power -- 1

Q = volume flow rate

To know the pressure

P = pgh

substitute this value in the above equation and we get

pgh × Q = P

1300 × 100 × 9.8 × 665 = P

this implies pressure = 847210000

that is P = 8.47 ×[tex]10^8[/tex] W
