To solve the problem of how long it will take a 5 hp engine to empty a well that is 20 meters deep and contains water up to a depth of 14 meters, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert Horsepower to Watts:** The power of the engine is given as 5 hp. We need to convert this to watts since 1 hp = 746 watts. \[ P = 5 \, \text{hp} \times 746 \, \text{W/hp} = 3730 \, \text{W} ...
