9. Work & Energy / Power / Problem 7
A storage tank is located on top of a roof of a 95-meter-tall building. This storage tank contains a liquid. Through smooth pipes, the liquid is able to flow vertically down into a generator which produces electricity by using the mechanical energy of the liquid. Given that the efficiency of the generator is 44% and the rate at which the liquid flows down is 32 kg/s, evaluate what the rate of transfer of mechanical energy from the liquid to the generator will be.
