Homework Statement
A nuclear power generating station generates 3 x 10^9 W of power. How much mass does the plant convert into energy in one month (30 days)? Assume that the process is 100% efficient.
2. The attempt at a solution
m = E / c^2, E = P x t
m = (3 x 10^9 W)(30 days) / (3 x 10^8 m/s) ^2
= 1 x 10^-6 kg
