A water pump lifts water from a level 10 m below the ground. Water is pumped at a rate of 30 kg /minute with negligible velocity.Caculate the minimum horsepower the engine should have to do this.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
`h=10m`
`Flow rate=(m/l)`
`=3kg/ming=0.5kg/sec`
`Power,P=(mgh)/t`
`(0.5)xx9.8xx10)`
`49W`
so horse ower (h.p)
`p/746=(49/746)`
`=6.6x10^-2hp`

Assume that water issuing from the end of a horizontal pipe. 7.5 m above the ground describes a parabolic path. The vertex of the parabolic path . The vertex of the parabolic path is at the end of the pipe. At a position 2.5 m below the line of the pipe . At a position 2.5 m below the line of the pipe , the flow of water has curved outward 3m beyond the vertical line through the end of the pipe. How far beyond this vertical line will the water strike the ground ?

A man of mass m having a bag ofmas m slips from the roof of atall building of height H and starts falling vertically figure. When at a height h from the ground, he notices that the ground below him is pretty hard but there is a pond at a horizontal distnce x from the line of fall. In order to save himself he throws the bag horizontally (with respect to himself) in the direction opposite to the pond. Calculate the minimum horizontal velocity imparted to the bag so that the man lands in the water. If the man just suceeds toavoid the hard ground, where will the bag land?

A mass of 2.0 kg is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground as shown the figure.The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible.When pressed slightly and released the mass executes a simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is 200 N//m. What should be the minimum amplitude of the motion so that the mass gets detached from the pan (Take g = 10m//s^2)
