A water pump driven by petrol raises water at a rate of 0.5 m' min from a depth of 30 m. If the pump is 70% efficient, what power is developed by the engine?

Answer»

1750 W
2450 W
3500W
7000W

Solution :Here mass/MIN. `(dm)/(dt)=500 kg min^(-1)`
=`(500)/(60)kg s^(-1)`
Also `(70)/(100)xxP=(mgh)/(t)`
or`P=(100)/(70).(mgh)/(t)`
=`(100)/(70)xx(500)/(6)xx9.8xx30`
=3500 W.
