A hydroelectric dam holds back a lake of surface area 3.0�106m2 that has vertical sides below the water level. The water level in the lake is 150 m above the base of the dam. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3.
-How much total energy is stored in the lake? Take the gravitational potential energy to be zero at the base of the dam. (Hint: Break the lake up into infinitesimal horizontal layers of thickness dy, and integrate to find the total potential energy.) Express your answer using two significant figures.
-Express your answer in kilowatt-hours. Express your answer using two significant figures.
