If you are a design engineer. You are going to build a new hydroelectric power station as the figurebelow. Your power station operates with a 40 m headwater. Assuming the diameter of the inletpipe and outlet pipe are the same (2 m). Water leaves the system at speed of 5 m/s. According tothe survey you did, the average residence consumes 1 kW of power. Determine how many homescan have enough power from your power plant. Assuming no power loss from power grids

Given:height of waterhead, h = 40 mradius of inlet and outlet pipe, r = 2 moutlet water velocity, vo…

help please. Water in a hose with an area of 153 mm2 moves at 4 m/s, but then you cover part of the opening of the hose with your finger, and the water shoots out faster at 16 m/s . Find the area of the opening between your finger and the end of the hose in mm2. Note: you can leave the areas in mm2 since they'll cancel out.
