A pump on the ground floor of a building can pump of water to fill a tank of volume `30 ms^(3)` in `15 min`. If the tank is `40m` above the ground and the efficiency of the pump is `30 %` , how much electric power is consumed by the pump? `("Take" g = 10 ms^(2))`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the electric power consumed by the pump. We will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the mass of water The mass of water can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{mass} = \text{density} \times \text{volume} \] Given: - Density of water, \( \rho = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) ...
