A liquid (SG = 0.920) is being pumped from a reservoir as shown. The pressures at points 1 and 2 are -8 psi and 44 psi, respectively. The rate of flow in the pipe is 0.714 ft3/s. Neglect energy (friction) losses in the system. Use x = 4 ft., y = 7 ft. Use 1 hp = 550 lb-ft/s. Efficiency of the pump is 91%.   a. What is the output power of the pump, in hp? Round off to two decimal places. b.  What is the head, in feet, in the pump? Round off to two decimal places. c. What is the input power of the pump, in hp? Round off to two decimal places.
