Question Number 29265 by tawa tawa last updated on 06/Feb/18
An electric pump with efficiency of   70%  raises water to a height of  15m  . If water is delivered at the rate of  350 dm^3  per minute.    (i) what is the power rating of the pump ?   (mass of 1 dm^3  = 1 kg)  (ii)  what is the energy lost by the pump ?   (g = 10 m/s^2 )  (Answer:   1250W.    22.5 KJ)
