Question

If 0.01% of the energy from a 1000MW reactor produced in 1 year were instead used to run a pump providing water to the top level of a 300m tall skyscraper, what mass of water could be provided over the course of the year. Include a diagram, assumptions, governing equations, calc work, units, and a discussion If 0.01% of the energy from a 1000MW reactor produced in 1 year were instead used to run a pump providing water to the top level of a 300m tall skyscraper, what mass of water could be provided over the course of the year.

Explanation / Answer

Power used=0.01*1000*10^6/100=100000 W

Energy=power*time=100000*365*24*3600=3.15*10^(12) J

Energy used in water=mgh

we got m=Energy/gh=1.07*10^9 kg
