 29. Water in a dam on a 75 - ft-deep river

29. Water in a dam on a 75 - ft-deep river is passed through a turbine to produce energy. The outlet of the turbine is 15ft above the river bed. The mass flowrate of water is 65,000lb/s, and the inside diameter of the discharge pipe is 10ft. Discharge is to the atmosphere, and frictional losses may be neglected. For a 55% efficient turbine, calculate the power produced
