Given, power of pump = 2kW =2000W

Time (t)= 60sec

Height (h) = 10m

g = 10m/s2. (I have taken 10 for easy calculation as it wasn't given in the question)

As you know, power =work done per unit time.

Work done = mgh = m ×10×10 =100m

Therefore, 2000W = 100m/60s

Therefore, m = 1200kg

So, the pump can raise 1200kg of water in one minute.

hope it helps
mark as brainliest plz if you like

ARUN01: YOUR ANS. IS NOT CORRECT
AdityaAnand28: mine ans is also correct
AdityaAnand28: i had taken g = 10 and you have taken g= 9.8. only that cause a difference
ARUN01: THE VALUE OF g = 9.8 only
AdityaAnand28: in the question its not mentioned whether we have to take g as 9.8 only
AdityaAnand28: and if you swipe through books u will find that for most of the question g is taken as 19
AdityaAnand28: *10

Explanation:

Given,

Power (P)=2kW

=2000W

Time(t)=60sec

Height (h)=10

g=9.8

as we know,

Work done=10×9.8

=98J

therefore,2000=98m/60

so,m=1224.4898

=1224.5
