A certain turbine has a capacity of 45 ft³/s. 3ft³/s is lost during the flow. The tailwater is 14 7 ft from the center of the turbine. The intake measures 35 in and the pressure is measured by mercury u-tube manometer which measures 15.566 ft in the intake and 3.00 ft in the discharge side. The datum of the scale is at 5.62 ft below that of the center of the turbine. The brake power output was 767.8 kw. Losses is measured to be 20.2 KW. Calculate the efficiency of the turbine
