The left ventricle of a resting adult's heart pumps blood at a flow rate of 87.0 cm3/s, increasing its pressure by 110 mm Hg, its velocity from zero to 25.0 cm/s, and its height by 5.00 cm. (All numbers are averaged over the entire heartbeat.) Calculate the total power output of the left ventricle. Note that most of the power is used to increase blood pressure.

Water is pumped from a lake to reservoir using a pump which exerts 25 kW of useful mechanical power to the water. If the flow rate of the water is measured to be 0.035 m³/s and the free surface of the reservoir is 60 m higher than the surface of the lake, determine the irreversible head loss of the system and the lost mechanical power during this process. Draw your schematic/ free-body diagram.
