In a facility for water storage, a tank holds water at an elevation of 150 m above ground level. Water is continuously pumped into the tank at a rate of 8000 kg/s for 12 hours. Assuming all the stored energy is discharged over 16 hours with an efficiency of 80%, what is the average power output during the release phase?
