Solution

Dear Student,

Hand pumps are manually operated pumps. They use human power and mechanical advantage to move fluids or air from one place to another.

Lift pump is a pump that raises a fluid to a higher level. It usually consists of a piston and vertical cylinder with flap or ball valves in both piston and cylinder base. It is a pump in which a liquid is lifted rather than forced up from below.
