In a wheat growing area, the cultivable land is 200 acres and wheat will be cultivated to all of the lands. The permissible interval between two irrigation peak period is 15 days and the depth of the irrigation required for that particular soil & argo-climatic region at peak period is 2.5 in. If the total head for pumping is 80 ft, pump efficiency is 85%, mortor efficiency is 80%, and the maximum allowable operating period of the pump is 16 hr/day. Determine (a) the required pump capacity (Q) for that command area (b) capacity of the mortor (hydraulic horespower) and (c) rated capacity of the moto
