Let's break down the problem:
**Question:**
A turbine is working under a head of 60 m, developing a power of 5 MW. What will be the power developed when the head is increased to 120 m (assuming efficiency remains constant)?
### Solution
The power developed by a turbine (assuming the same efficiency and discharge) is proportional to the head:
\[
P \propto H
\]
But if the discharge is also proportional to the square root of the head (as in many turbines), the power is proportional to \( H^{3/2} \):
\[
P_1 / P_2 = (H_1 / H_2)^{3/2}
\]
Given:
- \( P_1 = 5 \) MW
- \( H_1 = 60 \) m
- \( H_2 = 120 \) m
\[
P_2 = P_1 \times \left(\frac{H_2}{H_1}\right)^{3/2}
\]
\[
P_2 = 5 \times \left(\frac{120}{60}\right)^{3/2}
\]
\[
P_2 = 5 \times (2)^{3/2}
\]
\[
(2)^{3/2} = 2^{1} \times 2^{1/2} = 2 \times 1.414 = 2.828
\]
\[
P_2 = 5 \times 2.828 = 14.14 \text{ MW}
\]
### **Approximate Answer:**
**14 MW** (Option D)
