The correct Answer is:
To find the required power of the pump in watts, we need to calculate the total work done by the pump in lifting the water and ejecting it. Here's how we can do it step by step: ### Step 1: Calculate the work done in lifting the water The work done (W_lift) in lifting the water can be calculated using the formula: \[ W_{\text{lift}} = mgh \] Where: - \( m = 800 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the water) - \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity) - \( h = 10 \, \text{m} \) (height of the well) Substituting the values: \[ W_{\text{lift}} = 800 \times 10 \times 10 = 80000 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the work done in ejecting the water The work done (W_eject) in ejecting the water can be calculated using the formula: \[ W_{\text{eject}} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] Where: - \( m = 800 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the water) - \( v = 20 \, \text{m/s} \) (speed of the water being ejected) Substituting the values: \[ W_{\text{eject}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 800 \times (20)^2 \] \[ W_{\text{eject}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 800 \times 400 = 160000 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total work done Now, we can find the total work done (W_total) by adding the work done in lifting and ejecting: \[ W_{\text{total}} = W_{\text{lift}} + W_{\text{eject}} \] \[ W_{\text{total}} = 80000 + 160000 = 240000 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the power of the pump Power (P) can be calculated using the formula: \[ P = \frac{W}{t} \] Where: - \( W = 240000 \, \text{J} \) (total work done) - \( t = 60 \, \text{s} \) (time in seconds, since the pump lifts water per minute) Substituting the values: \[ P = \frac{240000}{60} = 4000 \, \text{W} \] ### Final Answer The required power of the pump is **4000 watts**. ---

To find the required power of the pump in watts, we need to calculate the total work done by the pump in lifting the water and ejecting it. Here's how we can do it step by step: ### Step 1: Calculate the work done in lifting the water The work done (W_lift) in lifting the water can be calculated using the formula: \[ W_{\text{lift}} = mgh \] Where: - \( m = 800 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the water) - \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity) ...
