    Water flows from a reservoir at the rate of 3000 kg/min, to a turbine 120 m below. If the efficiency of the turbine is 80 percent, compute the power output of the turbine. Neglect friction in the pipe and the small KE of the water leaving the turbine. Don't forget that it's only 80 percent efficiet.

    Hint: every one of these can be solved by using the fact that power = work per unit time, which also equals force times velocity.
