To solve the problem of how much water a 1 kW motor pumps out from a well that is 10 m deep, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between power, work, and time Power (P) is defined as the work done (W) per unit time (t): \[ P = \frac{W}{t} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the work done against gravity When the motor pumps water from a depth of 10 m, it does work against the gravitational force. The work done (W) to lift a mass (m) to a height (h) is given by: ...
