Total Weight of Water given Potential Energy in Hydroelectric Power Generation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Water = Potential Energy/Vertical Distance Water can Fall
γ_w = PE/h
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is the ratio of total weight to the total volume of water.
Potential Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Potential Energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position.
Vertical Distance Water can Fall - (Measured in Meter) - Vertical Distance Water can Fall refers to the height from which water drops vertically downward due to gravity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Potential Energy: 117.2 Joule --> 117.2 Joule No Conversion Required
Vertical Distance Water can Fall: 12 Meter --> 12 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ_w = PE/h --> 117.2/12

Evaluating ... ...

γ_w = 9.76666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9766.66666666667 Newton per Cubic Meter -->9.76666666666667 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9.76666666666667 ≈ 9.766667 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Water
