Question
In rural housing, the source of water is obtained
through groundwater pumped up. Assume that
the groundwater source is 60 m deep from the
surface. Water will be lifted as far as 5 m above
ground level by pump. The inlet diameter of the
pipe is 10 cm and the outlet is 15 cm.
Ignoring the interaction of heat with the
environment and heat due to friction, determine
the input work (Watts) required by the pump so
that the water flows steadily at a rate of 15
liters/s. (The density of water is 1000 kg/m^3).
