To solve the problem step-by-step, we will follow the outlined process: ### Step 1: Calculate the Power Used by the Pump The rated power of the pump is given as 400 W, and its efficiency is 75%. We can calculate the actual power used by the pump using the formula: \[ \text{Power Used} = \text{Rated Power} \times \text{Efficiency} \] ...
