An energy efficient household uses 3.2 kWh electrical energy per day. To utilise wind-power they need to be able tostore energy which will then be used to drive an electric generator. They are planning to use water pumped to a hightank for energy storage.

a) How much water should they have stored for 2 days supply, if the water is stored at height of 15 m above theturbine, in order to store the equivalent to 2 days electrical energy in gravitational potential energy form?

first, be sure you recognize that kWh is a unit of energy; W stands for Watt, and 1 W is 1 Joule/sec; so multiplying Watts (energy/sec) times a unit of time (secs) gives you (energy/sec)x(sec) =energy

now we convert 6.2 kWh into the MKS unit of energy, Joules:so in two days, the house uses 6.2 kWh of energy; this is equivalent to:

6.2 kWh = 6200 W h (k=kilo=1000)6200 W h = 6200 W (3600 sec/hr)(hr) = 2.23×10^7 J

the grav potential energy of a mass m is given by:

PE = m g h where m is the mass, g is the accel due to grav (9.8 m/s/s) and h is the height above the earth, so here, the PE is:

PE = 9.8 m/s/s (15 m) h = 147 m J

and this amount of PE must equal 2.23×10^7 J

m=2.23×10^7J/1.47×10^2m^2/s^2 = 1.52×10^7 kg of water

and your answer is 1.52×10^7 kg water

    There are some great programs that really help with this kind of stuff. Try "Best Algebra Program!" You can download it at:

    Hope that helps.

    Awesome. You took physics and combined it with classic cartoons (my favorite) which made it very fun to learn. I dont think I’ve ever laughed while learning physics before your video. Thanks for the post.

    That sounds particularly charming. I wonder if they allow you to bring your own beef? LOL!

    A tornado won’t topple it.

    Something with a higher gravitational potential energy than you or I :)

    If it is field corn then you should leave it in a cool dry place out of the sun with airflow. To ensure that it dries ok you should make the pile as spread out as possible.
