The volume of water to be pumped from lower to the upper reservoir
Answer to Problem 93GP
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
The energy of the water required to pump it to the given height is equal to the gravitational potential energy of water at the same height.
Given: Time,
Power,
The height of the upper reservoir with respect to the lower one is
The density of water is
Formula used
Energy and power are related as
Gravitational potential energy is given as,
Here, V is volume and dis density.
Both E and W are numerically equal,
Calculations
Conclusion: The approximate water volume is
