, then the energy transferred by rain to each square metre of the surface at a place which receives
of rain in a year is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Given, velocity of rain, 
Height,
Surface area, A
Volume,
Density of water,
Mass of water on area
Energy transferred by rain on area 

Hence, energy transferred by rain per unit area
