Calculate the power of pump which can lift 100kg of water through a vertical height of 5m in 20sec
Added by Adeyeni O.
Step 1
First, we need to find the work done by the pump to lift the water. Work done (W) is given by the formula: W = m * g * h where m is the mass of the water (100 kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²), and h is the vertical height (5 Show more…
