Solution

Power of motor, $P = \frac{1}{η} \frac{ρ V g h}{t}$

Where,

$ρ$ = Density, $V$ = Volume, $h$ = Heigth $t$ = Time and $η$ =efficiency of motor

$P = \frac{1}{0.4} \frac{1000 \times 50 \times 10 \times 20}{25 \times 60} = 16666.67 J$

$P = \frac{16666.67}{746} = 22.23 h p$

Power of motor is $22.23 h p$
