An engineer lives in Hawaii at a location where the annual rain fall is 300 inches. She decides to use the rain to generate electricity. She places a rain barrel in a tree at a height of 100 ft. If the volumetric flow rate of water in the system is 3.6x10-6 ft3 /s, what is the average rate that power that could be generated in one year (in lbf-ft/hr)? [Ws= 80.7 lbfft/hr]
