A motor is used to deliver water at a certain rate through a given horizontal pipe. To deliver \(n\)-times the water through the same pipe in the same time the power of the motor must be increased as follows :

  1. A \(n\)-times
  2. B \(n^2\)-times
  3. C \(n^3\)-times
  4. D \(n^4\)-times
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(n^3\)-times

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If the motor pumps water (density \(=\rho\) ) continuously through a pipe of area of crosssection \(A\) with velocity \(v\), then mass flowing out per second, \(m=A v \rho\) ...(i) Rate of increase of kinetic energy \(=\frac{1}{2} m v^2=\frac{1}{2}(A v \rho) v^2\) ..(ii) Mass…
