On a website devoted to answering engineering questions, viewers were invited to determine how much power a 100-MW power plant generates annually. The answer declared to be best was submitted by a civil engineering student, who stated, "It produces 100 MW/hr so over the year that's 100∗24∗365.25 & do the math."
(a) Carry out the calculation, showing all the units.
(b) What is wrong with the statement of the question?
(c) Why was the student wrong in saying that the plant produces 100 MW/hr?
