A dam is shaped like a parabola (y = x^2) and has a height of 150 meters. The water's density is 1000kg/m3.
Pt 1. FInd the total energy stored by this dam.
Pt 2. If fourty-percent of the total energy from the dam was consumed, what would be the water level's new hight?
Pt 3. If a city was using this dam for its energy and consumed 12 x 107 MW of power, how much time would it take for the level of the dam to drop down to the height in part 2?
Q2 A dam is used to store 700 tons of water to provide energy when needed by using turbines. If the water is stored at a height of 60 meters above ground level, calculate how much energy is stored if the water was to be released to ground level. Provide and analyse two alternative methods of energy storage.
Water in a canal ,30 dm wide and 12 dm deep is flowing with velocity of 10 km/hr .How much area will it irrigate in 30 minutes ,if 8 cm of standing water is required for irrigation
