At a hydroelectric power plant,the water pressure head is at a height of $300\; m$ and the water flow available is $100\; m^{3} s^{-1}.$ If the turbine generator efficiency is $60\%,$ estimate the electric power available from the plant (in $MW$) $\left(g=9.8\; m s^{-2}\right).$

  • A
    $146.7$
  • B

Air is streaming past a horizontal aeroplane wing such that its speed is $120\, m/s$ over the upper surface and $90\, m/s$ at the lower surface. If the density of air is $1.3\, kg/m^3$ and the wing is $10\, m$ long and has an average width of $2\, m$,then the difference of the pressure on the two sides of the wing is ........ $N/m^2$.

$Assertion :$ The velocity of flow of a liquid is smaller when pressure is larger and vice-versa.
$Reason :$ According to Bernoulli's theorem,for the stream line flow of an ideal liquid,the total energy per unit mass remains constant.

The figure shows a liquid of given density flowing steadily in a horizontal tube of varying cross-section. The cross-sectional areas at $A$ is $1.5 \, cm^2$,and at $B$ is $25 \, mm^2$. If the speed of the liquid at $B$ is $60 \, cm/s$,then find $(P_A - P_B)$ in $Pa$. (Given: $P_A$ and $P_B$ are liquid pressures at points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Density $\rho = 1000 \, kg/m^3$. $A$ and $B$ are on the axis of the tube.)

An aeroplane of mass $3 \times 10^4 \, kg$ and total wing area of $120 \, m^2$ is in a level flight at some height. The difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of its wings in kilopascals is $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.
