Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total energy required per day is 6 million Joules (J). To find the equivalent power in watts (W), we divide the total energy by the number of seconds in a day (24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 86,400 seconds). So, $6,000,000 \, \text{J} / 86,400 \, \text{s} = 69.44 \, \text{W}$, which rounds to approximately 70 W.
