Given:
Velocity of water, v = 2 m/s
Mass per unit length of water, m = 100 kg/m
To find:
Power of the engine
Formula used:
Power = Force × Velocity
Force = mass × acceleration = mass × change in velocity / time
Change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity = v - 0 = v
Time taken to move out of the pipe, t = length of the pipe / velocity of water
Let the length of the pipe be L.
Therefore, t = L / v
Force = m × v / t = m × v² / L
Power = Force × Velocity = m × v² / L × v = m × v² / L
Substituting the given values, we get:
Power = 100 kg/m × (2 m/s)² / L = 400 W
Therefore, the power of the engine is 400 W.
