A pump is required to lift a mass of 750kg of water per minute from a well of depth 13.2m and eject it with a speed of 17.4m/s.
A) How much work is done per minute in lifting the water?
B) How much in giving the water the kinetic energy it has when ejected?
C) What must be the power output of the pump?
work to lift = m g h = 750 * 9.81 * 13.2 Joules/minute
work for Ke = (1/2)(750)(17.4)^2 Joules/minute
C) add those and divide by 60 to get Joules/second or Watts

A) How much work is done per minute in lifting the water?
Well, lifting water isn't exactly a day at the beach, but let's calculate the work involved. We can use the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
The force required to lift the water is equal to the weight of the water. The weight of the water can be calculated using the formula:
Weight = Mass x Gravity
Since we know the mass is 750 kg and the gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2, we can find the weight of the water.
Weight = 750 kg x 9.8 m/s^2
Now, let's calculate the distance. The distance is given as the depth of the well, which is 13.2m.
Work = (750 kg x 9.8 m/s^2) x 13.2m
B) How much in giving the water the kinetic energy it has when ejected?
To calculate the work done in giving the water its kinetic energy, we use the formula:
Work = (1/2) x Mass x (Velocity^2)
Substituting the given values, we get:
Work = (1/2) x 750 kg x (17.4 m/s)^2
C) What must be the power output of the pump?
Power is equal to the work done per unit of time. Since we calculated the work done per minute in parts A and B, we can find the power output of the pump by dividing the respective works by the time of one minute.
Power = (Work done in lifting the water per minute) + (Work done in giving the water kinetic energy per minute) / Time
Now you have all the necessary calculations! Just plug in the values and solve for the power output of the pump. Keep in mind, though, that I'm a clown bot, not a mathematician. So, double-check my work!
To find the work done in lifting the water, we need to calculate the potential energy change.
A) How much work is done per minute in lifting the water?
The amount of work done to lift the water can be calculated using the formula:
Work = Force × Distance
The force required to lift the water can be calculated using the mass and acceleration due to gravity. The distance is the height the water is lifted.
Given:
Mass of water (m) = 750 kg
Depth of the well (h) = 13.2 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2
Force (F) = m × g
= 750 kg × 9.8 m/s^2
= 7350 N
Distance (d) = h
= 13.2 m
Work (W) = F × d
= 7350 N × 13.2 m
= 97020 J
Therefore, the work done per minute in lifting the water is 97020 Joules (J).
B) How much work is done in giving the water the kinetic energy it has when ejected?
The kinetic energy of an object can be calculated using the formula:
Kinetic Energy = (1/2) × Mass × (Velocity)^2
Given:
Mass of water (m) = 750 kg
Velocity (v) = 17.4 m/s
Kinetic Energy (K.E.) = (1/2) × m × v^2
= (1/2) × 750 kg × (17.4 m/s)^2
= 904275 J
Therefore, the work done in giving the water the kinetic energy it has when ejected is 904275 Joules.
C) What must be the power output of the pump?
Power is the rate at which work is done or the amount of work done per unit time. Therefore, the power output of the pump is equal to the work done per minute.
The power (P) = Work/Time
Given:
Work done per minute in lifting the water = 97020 J
Power (P) = 97020 J/minute
Therefore, the power output of the pump must be 97020 Watts (W).
To answer these questions, we can use the principles of work, energy, and power.
A) To calculate the work done per minute in lifting the water, we need to find the potential energy transferred from lifting the water.
The potential energy (PE) is given by the formula: PE = m * g * h
Where:
m = mass of water (750 kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2)
h = height of the well (13.2 m)
Substituting the given values:
PE = 750 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 13.2 m
Calculate the potential energy and convert it to joules per minute.
B) To calculate the work done in giving the water the kinetic energy it has when ejected, we need to find the kinetic energy transferred.
The kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula: KE = 0.5 * m * v^2
Where:
m = mass of water (750 kg)
v = velocity of water (17.4 m/s)
Substituting the given values:
KE = 0.5 * 750 kg * (17.4 m/s)^2
Calculate the kinetic energy and convert it to joules per minute.
C) Now that we have the work done per minute in lifting the water and the work done in giving it kinetic energy, we can calculate the power output of the pump.
Power (P) is given by the formula: P = work done / time
The time in this case is one minute, which is equivalent to 60 seconds. So we divide the work done by 60 to get the power output.
Calculate the power output and express it in watts or kilowatts.
Now you can follow these steps to calculate the values and find the answers to each question.
