प्रश्न

If 60% of the potential energy available in a waterfall is converted into heat energy, find the height of the waterfall, when the temperature difference between the top and the bottom of the fall is 0.210C (sp. Heat cap. Of water = 4200J/kgK).
संख्यात्मक

उत्तर

Given, Sp. heat capacity of water, s = 4200 J/KgK

Temperature difference, Δt = 0.21 °C

Let 'h' be the height of the waterfall and 'm' be the mass of water.

Then, P.E of the water = mgh

Given that, heat energy, H = 60% of P.E

or, 4200 x 0.21 = 0.6 x 10 x h 

or, h = `(4200 xx 0.21)/(0.6 xx 10) = 882/6` = 147 m
