If a water pump at Kainji Dam is capable of lifting 1000kg of water through a vertical height of 10m in 10s, the power of the pump is [g = 10ms-2]

If a water pump at Kainji Dam is capable of lifting 1000kg of water through a vertical height of 10m in 10s, the power of the pump is [g = 10ms-2]

Answer Details

power = $\frac{\text{work done}}{time}$

= $\frac{1000\times 10\times 10}{10}$

= 10kW
