Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A tidal barrage has a gate that allows water to flow at a rate of 700 cubic meters per second through a turbine. If the height difference between high and low tide is 4 meters, calculate the power generated assuming 100% efficiency. (Use g = 9.81 m/s²)
💡 Hint: Use the formula Power = density * gravity * height * flow rate.
Argue for or against the design and construction of tidal energy systems in environmentally sensitive areas.
💡 Hint: Think about ecological consequences and energy needs.
