The Horseshoe Falls on the Niagara River is about 50 meter high and 800 meter wide. The water is moving at 10 m/s and has a depth of 1 meter as it goes over the falls.
(a) Find what volume of water goes over the falls each second?
(b) Find what is the change in potential energy of this volume of water?
(c) Assume this potential energy could be transformed into electrical energy, determine how much electrical power would be produced?
