Question

calculate the potential energy contained by the water of 2500kg in a dam if the height of the water column is 12 m.[given : density of water =1000kg/m^3 and acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s^2​

Answer 1

Answer:

P.E will be 2.94*10^5 J

Explanation:

P.E = mgh

P.E = (2500kg)(9.8m/s^2)(12m)

P.E = 294000Nm

P.E = 2.94*10^5 J
