A pump on ground can pump up water to fill tank of volume 30 in 15 min if the tank is 40 m above the ground and efficiency of pump is 30 % . How much electric power (in KW) is consumed by the pump -
(Please provide answer upto 2 decimal places.)
As we have learned
Power -
Rate of doing work
- wherein
Power is defined as the time rate at which work is done or energy is transferred
Output power of motor = mgh /t
=
Efficiency =( Output power of motor / Power consumed by motor ) * 100
