A reservoir located in the mountain 250 m above sea level flows through a pipe to a hydroelectric plant in a town at sea level. Assuming the pressure in both locations are the same and the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. How fast will the water flow into the plant?

     v₂ = 70 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Bernoulli's equation

where subscript 1 is for the top of the mountain and subscript 2 is for Tuesday's level

          P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ +1/2 ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

indicate that the pressure in the two points is the same, y₁ = 250 m, y₂ = 0 m, the water in the upper part, because it is a reservoir, is very large for which the velocity is very small, we will approximate it to 0 (v₁ = 0), we substitute

         ρ g y₁ = ½ ρ v₂²

         v₂ =

let's calculate

         v₂ = √( 2 9.8 250)

         v₂ = 70 m / s
