Problem 9:   The hydroelectric generators at the Hoover Dam can produce a maximum current of 8.00 × 103 A at 250 kV. Part (a) What is the maximum power output of the generators, in watts? Pmax=_____ Part (b) The water that powers the generators enters and leaves the system at a low speed (thus we can neglect its change of kinetic energy) and loses 160 m of altitude during the process. What is the water flow required, in cubic meters...
