Water is pumped from a pond to a tank by using a pump at a rate of 55 dm3/s through a 50.4-mm-diameter steel pipe. The total length of the pipe is 95 m, and the viscosity of water is 1 mm2/s. Calculate the power required in the pump to maintain the discharge. Refer to Figure Q1 to include all losses in your calculation.
