Question 1064149: If 100,000 kg of water (in the upper meter) is stored behind a small hydroelectric dam 50m tall. How much energy is stored in the water(assuming the turbines are installed at the bottom of the dam)? If a turning could be made 100% effeicient, how much power can the turbine produce if the water slows from 12.0m/s to 8.0 m/s in the .5 second it is in contact with the turbine? How much force did the water place on the turbine? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! All the energy is stored as potential energy,

.
So the difference in kinetic energy is transferred,
So power would be KE per unit time,
