AI Generated Solution

To find the power of the pump that is moving water out of a flooded basement, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Velocity of water, \( V = 4.5 \, \text{m/s} \) - Radius of the hose, \( r = 1.0 \, \text{cm} = 0.01 \, \text{m} \) - Height of the window above the waterline, \( h = 3.5 \, \text{m} \) - Density of water, \( \rho = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) (standard value) ...
