From the figure below, water must be pumped from the large tank below to the nozzle with an exit velocity of 5.8 m/s. The initial pump (Pump # 1) that supplies 1.2hp of power to the water is not enough to produce the desired velocity. It is proposed that an additional pump (Pump#2) be installed as indicated to attain the desired value. Given the head loss for this flow is HL = 250Q^2, when Q is in m^3/s, determine the rated power (in hp) of Pump #2 if the mechanical efficiency of its motor is 86%.

The pump draws oil with specific gravity of 0.90 from a reservoir and delivers it to the hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder has an inside diameter of 5.0 inch and in 15 seconds the piston must travel 20 inches while exerting a force of 11,000 lb. It is estimated that there are energy losses of 11.5 lb-ft/lb in the suction pipe and 35.0 lb-ft/lb in the discharge pipe. Both pipes are 3/8-in Scheulde 80 steel pipe with inside diameter of 0.423 inch. Calculate the pressure at the cylinder.
