Q. A power of motor is 1500W .How much water per minute can the pump raise to a height of 10m ? (g=10 m/s²)

Open in App

Solution

Given, power of pump =1500W

Time (t)= 60sec

Height (h) = 10m

g = 10m/s²

As you know, power =work done per unit time.

Work done = mgh = m ×10×10 =100m

Therefore, 1500W = 100m/60s

Therefore, m = 900kg

So, the pump can raise 900kg of water in one minute.
