Question

If the water falls from a dam into a trubine wheel 19.6 m below, them the velocity of water at the turiners, is (take g = 9.8m/s2)

Options

A.9.8m/s
B.19.6m/s
C.39.2m/s
D.98.0m/s

Solution

v2 - u2 = 2as ⇒ v2 - 02 = 2 × 9.8 × 19.6
(Initial velocity =0as water falls from rest)
⇒     v =
= 2 × 9.8 = 19.6m/s
