Question
![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.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/f1aa8fbb-d7ac-43de-9f98-2dd6252d9bf7/e28f87c0-b0ca-4d7f-aba9-62e233ec66cb/1j4zgi8_thumbnail.png)
