- Problem 1)The velocity of the water at the entrance and exit of a pipe are 10 m/s and 3 m/s, respectively. The volume of water flowing inside the tube is 18000 m^3 . What is the kinetic energy of the water measured at the exit of the pipe? If the exit of the pipe in problem 1 is located at the ground level, what is the elevation of the pipe inlet if all the potential energy is converted to the kinetic energy in problem 1? include the diagram.arrow_forwardAt the Manapouri hydroelectric station on the South Island of New Zealand, water from Lake Manapouri drops through 230 meters before being discharged to the sea at Doubtful Sound. The maximum flow rate of water through the plant is 510 cubic meters per second. 1 cubic meter of water has a weight of 1,000 kg. Calculate the maximum amount of power that could be generated at Manapouri. (You can refer to the class handout, the textbook Section 2.2 or the slides for the necessary energy and power conversions).
