in diameter. The bomb drains through a horizontal pipe 10 cm in diameter, located 3.20 m above the water level from the well. When 35 lit/sec are pumped, the readings of the pressure gauges placed at the inlet and at the pump output are -31.4 kPa and 176.5 kPa, respectively. The discharge pressure gauge is located 1.0 m above the suction pressure gauge. Determine the power output of the pump.

Question
A pump draws water from a well through a vertical pipe 15 cm
in diameter. The bomb drains through a horizontal pipe 10 cm
in diameter, located 3.20 m above the water level from the well.
When 35 lit/sec are pumped, the readings of the pressure
gauges placed at the inlet and at the pump output are -31.4
kPa and 176.5 kPa, respectively. The discharge pressure gauge
is located 1.0 m above the suction pressure gauge. Determine
the power output of the pump.
