A hydroelectric power station had an upland reservoir that is 400m above the power station. The power station is designed to produce 96 MW of electrical power with an efficiency of 60%.
Estimate the loss of gravitational potential energy per second when the hydroelectric power station generates 96 kW of power.
Estimate the loss of gravitational potential energy per second when the hydroelectric power station generates 96 kW of power.

There are two red herrings in this question.
You don’t need the height
You don’t need 96MW
what is needed is a power caused by falling water that is 60% more than 96kW
