Water enters a motor through a 60 cm diameter pipe under a pressure of 14
kPa. It leaves through a 90 cm diameter exhaust pipe with a pressure of 4 kPa.
A vertical distance of 2.5 m separates the centers of the two pipes at the points
where the measurements of pressures where taken. If 500 liters of water pass
thru the motor, compute the power output of the motor if its efficiency is 80%.
