Suggest a method to fill water in a tank constructed at a height of 10 m from the ground by using a vacuum pump instead of an electric pump.

An electric pump is used to pump water to fill a water tank of volume 30m^(3) in 20 minute. The pump is on the ground floor and the tank is one the terrace of the building. The centre of the tank is at 400 m above the ground. How much electric power is consumed by the pump, in filling the tank, if the efficiency of the pump is 50%? (g=10m//s^(2) and density of water =10^(3)kg//m^(3) )

An electric pump is used to pump water to fill a water tank of volume 30 m^(3) is 20 minute. The pump is on the ground floor and the tank is on the terrace of the builiding. The centre of the tank is at 40 m above the ground . How much electric power is consumed by the pump, in filing the tank , if the efficiecy of the pump is 50 ? ( g = 10 m//s^(2) and density of water 10 = ^(3) kg //m^(3) )

A booster pump can be used for filling as well as for emptying a tank. The capacity of the tank is 2400 m3. The emptying capacity of the tank is 10 m3 per minute higher than its filing capacity and the pump needs 8 minutes lesser to empty the tank than it needs to fill it. What if the filling capacity of the pump? 50 m^3//m in b. 72 "m"^3//"min" c. 60 m^3//m in d. none of these

A 10 H.P. motor pumps out water from a well of depth 20 m and fills a water tank of volume 22380 litres at a height of 10 m from the ground. The running time of the motor to fill the empty water tank is ( g=1=ms^(-2) )

A overhead tank of capacity 1000 liter has to be filled in (1)/(2) hour using water pump. Tank is kept at a height 10 m above ground and water level is 10 m below ground. The opening of inlet pipe inside tank is 1.11 cm^(2) . Assuming the efficiency of motor to be 60%, the electric power used is (Neglect viscosity)

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

A pump can be used either to fill or to empty a tank.The capacity of the tank is 3600m^(3). The emptying capacity of the pump is 10(m^(3))/(min) higher than its filing capacity.The emptying capacity of the pump,if pump needs 12more minutes to fill the tank than to empty it is -
