The power of a motor pump is 2 kw.How much water per minute the pump can raise to a height of 10m?(GIVEN G=10m/s) |
|
Answer» Given, power of pump = 2kW =2000W Time (t)= 60sec Height (h) = 10m g = 10m/s2 As you know, power =work done per unit time. Work done = mgh = m ×10×10 =100m Therefore, 2000W = 100m/60s Therefore, m = 1200kg So, the pump can raise 1200kg of water in one minute. 2 kW is equal to 2 x 1000 W (as 1 kW = 1000 W). |
