From work - energy theorem
`P=(KE "imparted to water")/("time")`
`=(KE)/("volume of water")xx("volume of water")/("time")`
`=(1/2rhov^(2))(AV)` or `P prop v^(3)`

A motor pump lifts water from an average depth of 15 m at the rate of 5 kg per second. If the water is coming out of the pump with a velocity of 4 ms^(-1) , the power of the motor is (g = 10ms^(-1))

A motor of power P_0 is used to deliver water at a certain rate through a given horizontal pipe. To increase the rate of flow of water through the same pipe n times, the power of the moter is increased to P_1 to P_0 is
