An engine pumps up `100 kg` water through a height of `10 m` in `5 s`. If efficiency of the engine is `60%`. What is the power of the engine? `Take g = 10 ms^(2)`.

A

(a) `33kW`

B

(b) `3.3kW`

C

(c) `0.33kW`

D

(d) `0.033kW`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Power used to pump the water`=(mgh)/(t)=(100xx10xx10)/(5)`
Power of engine`=2000xx100/60=3.3kW`
