A pump is required to lift `1000kg` of water per minute from a well `12m` deep and eject it with a speed of `20ms^-1`. How much work is done per minute in lifting the water and what must be the power output of the pump?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the work done by the pump in lifting the water and then determine the power output required by the pump. ### Step 1: Calculate the work done in lifting the water The work done (W) by the pump can be calculated using the formula for gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy: \[ W = \Delta PE + \Delta KE \] ...
