Water from a reservoir is pumped over a hill through a pipe 90 cm in diameter, and a pressure of 200 kPa is maintained at the summit where the pipe is 90 m above the reservoir. The quantity pumped is 1.40 m3/s and by reason of friction there is a head loss of 3 J/N between the reservoir and summit. If the pump is 90% efficient, determine the input power furnished to the water.

Transcribed Image Text:Water from a reservoir is pumped over a hill
through a pipe 90 cm in diameter, and a pressure
of 200 kPa is maintained at the summit where the
pipe is 90 m above the reservoir. The quantity
pumped is 1.40 m/s and by reason of friction
there is a head loss of 3 J/N between the reservoir
and summit. If the pump is 90% efficient,
determine the input power furnished to the water.
