A motor can pump 7560 kg of water per hour from a well of depth 100 m. If the efficiency of the pump is \(70 \%\), then power of the pump is (Acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\) )

  1. A 4 kW
  2. B 6 kW
  3. C 3 kW
  4. D 7 kW
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3 kW

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P_{out} = \frac{mgh}{t} = \frac{7560 \times 10 \times 100}{3600 \text{ s}}\) \(P_{out} = 2100 \text{ W}\) \(P_{in} = \frac{P_{out}}{\eta} = \frac{2100 \text{ W}}{0.70}\) \(P_{in} = 3000 \text{ W} = 3 \text{ kW}\)
