A motor pump lifts \( 6 \) tonnes of water from a well of depth \( 25 \mathrm{~m} \) to the first floor of height \( 35 \mathrm{~m} \)
from the ground floor in \( 20 \) minutes. The power of the pump (in \( \mathrm{kW} \) ) is: \( \left[\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right] \)

  1. A \( 03 \)
  2. B \( 06 \)
  3. C \( 1.5 \)
  4. D \( 12 \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 03 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, mass of water \(=6\) tonnes \(=6 \times 1000\); depth of well \(=25 \mathrm{~m}\); height of first floor \(=35 \mathrm{~m}\); time \(=20\) minutes
\(=20 \times 60 \mathrm{~s}\)
Power of pump \(=\frac{\text { work done }}{\text { time }}=\frac{\mathrm{mgh}}{\text { time }}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) Power
\(=\frac{6 \times 1000 \times 10 \times(25+35)}{20 \times 60}=3000 \mathrm{~W}\)
Therefore, power of pump is \(3 \mathrm{~kW}\)
