A pump draws water from reservoir A and lifts to reservoir B. Points 1 and 2 are points just before and just after the pump respectively as shown. The head loss from point A to point 1 is 3 times the velocity head at point 1. The head loss from point 1 to B is 20 times the velocity head at point 2. Compute the power output in the pump in horsepower if the discharge in the system is 15 L/s.
