The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the work done by the motor in pumping water, we will break it down into several steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - Volume of water, \( V = 4 \, \text{m}^3 \) - Height to which water is pumped, \( h = 20 \, \text{m} \) - Pressure at the reservoir, \( P = 2 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - External pressure, \( P_{\text{external}} = 1 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - Density of water, \( \rho = 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) 2. **Calculate the Mass of Water**: \[ m = \rho \times V = 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \times 4 \, \text{m}^3 = 4000 \, \text{kg} \] 3. **Calculate Work Done Against Gravity (Potential Energy)**: \[ W_{\text{gravity}} = mgh = 4000 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \times 20 \, \text{m} = 800000 \, \text{J} = 8 \times 10^5 \, \text{J} \] 4. **Calculate Work Done Against External Pressure**: \[ W_{\text{pressure}} = P_{\text{external}} \times V = 1 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/m}^2 \times 4 \, \text{m}^3 = 400000 \, \text{J} = 4 \times 10^5 \, \text{J} \] 5. **Total Work Done by the Motor**: \[ W_{\text{total}} = W_{\text{gravity}} + W_{\text{pressure}} = 8 \times 10^5 \, \text{J} + 4 \times 10^5 \, \text{J} = 12 \times 10^5 \, \text{J} \] ### Final Answer: The work done by the motor is \( 12 \times 10^5 \, \text{J} \). ---
