A pump draws water from a 200mm diameter suction pipe and discharges through a 150mm pipe in which the discharge is 80 L/s. The pressure at point A is -40KPa. The 150mm pipe discharges into air at point B as shown. If the head loss from point A to point B is 5m, determine the power needed to be given by the pump in horsepower.
