To get 300 MW electric power for half an hour, how much mass is to be completely converted into energy?

  1. A \(3 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~kg}\)
  2. B \(6 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~kg}\)
  3. C \(6 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg}\)
  4. D \(6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(6 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~kg}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The total energy \(E\) required is given by the product of power \(P\) and time \(t\). \(P = 300 \text{ MW} = 300 \times 10^{6} \text{ W}\) \(t = 30 \text{ minutes} = 30 \times 60 \text{ seconds} = 1800 \text{ s}\)…
