A centrifugal pump is pumping water at a speed of 750 rpm. Water is entering the impeller blades at an angle of 15° and exiting radially at an angle of 35°. The inlet radius is 12 cm, and the blade width is 18 cm. The outlet radius is 24 cm, and the blade width is 14 cm. Given that the volumetric flow rate of water passing through the pump is 0,573 m3/sec and assuming the pump's efficiency is 100%, find the shaft power and the pump head of the pump
