) A pump in a municipality's water-supply system receives water from the filtration beds and pumps it up to the top of a water tower. The tower's height is 35 m, and the inlet piping to the pump is 2 m below the pump's intake. The water temperature is 20°C, measured at both the inlet and discharge from the pump. The mass flow rate through the pump is 100 kg/s, the diameter of the inlet piping is 25 cm, and the diameter of the discharge piping is 15 cm. Assuming that there is no heat transfer and no change in internal energy of the water, determine the power required by the pump
