amount of energy produced from water falling

The Watt is a power unit = joule/s= 1Nm/s If you use the word Energy you should use the units Joule or Watt*s. Any way the answer is -for earth where 1 kg of water (mass) has a weight of 9.81 N will be = 9.81*50*0.9=441.45 Nm or Joule or Watt*s.

There are different languages the one on the street or on the market as on of the aprticipants said and the one of the profession. In the frame of a professional discussion -if we raee professionals of course- we should use the language of the profession and on the street the street one which could be different.

In the international unit system the defnitions are:

mass - kg

force - N which is the force giving to a 1kg mass an acceleration of 1m/s²

energy - Nm called also Joule

power - Watt defined as 1 joule/s

International standards have been developed for international communication and understanding between far away living people.

CR4 is an example of such communication so that we should make the effort not to use the language of every street which different from town to town even within a single country but a language which is worldwide valid and avoids misunderstandings.

thanks for answering my question.

sorry i am not even out of school so i am not exactly professional but thanks for the hint.

I can give u a exact formula for Hydro system :

P = (Flow x Head X 9.81 X Eff. of Turbine X Eff. Of Generator)

where, P= Generated power in KW

Flow= flow in m3/sec

Head = Net height in meter

may be it will be useful to you

thank you.

Read up on Hoover Dam generation plant.

Sounds like a homework question.

Think gravitational potential energy.

Use conversion facttors to convert from Energy in type to energy out type.

Apply the efficiency factor and you are done

thanks for the help actually its just an interest i have.

Is the water falling drop by drop or is it contained in a blader? Perhaps continuous flow?

Yet if the 1kG of force acts on 50 m it produces 50 kGm of energy, but power is energy release in time, so what is the time of energy release?

Answer these and I would tell you what is the power output!

but to satisfy you without answers I say infinit power as time of contact of water with surface is zero and that is the power of water that curves our land producing canyons and moving mountains
