Answer:
Given:-
- Volume of tank = 40 m
- Density of Water = 10 kg/m
To Find:-
- Electric Power needed
Solution:-
⬤Mass = Volume x Density
⬤Work Done = Potential Energy = mgh
⬤Power Work/Time
⬤Ep 30% of power needed
★Mass of the water pumped:-
→Mass= Volume x Density
→Mass = 40 x 10³
→Mass = 4 x 10^4 kg
★Work Done:-
→Work = mgh
→Work 4 x 10^4x 9.8 x 40
→Work = 1568 x 10^4J
→Work= 1.568 x 10^7J
★Power Required:-
→Power = Work/Time
→Work = 1.568 x 107J
→Time = 20 min = 20 x 60 1200 sec
→Power (1.568 x 10^71200)
→Power = 13.006 kW
★Electric Power Consumed:-
→Electric Power = 30% of power needed to pump
→Electric Power = 13.066 x 30/100
→Electric Power 3.9 kW
