Water enters a turbine through a 600mm diameter pipe under a pressure of 14 kPa. It leaves through a 900mm diameter exhaust pipe with pressure of 4 kPa. A vertical distance of 2.5m separates the centers of the two pipes at the sections where the pressure are measured. If 500 L of water pass the turbine each second, compute the power supplied to the turbine.
