An installation consists of an electric motor which drives a water pump to lift75 Lof water per second to a height of5 m, where water is disbursed at negligible speed. If the motor consumes a power of5 kW, then what is the efficiency (%) of the installation? [g=10 m s-2]

Answer:
75.00
Solution:

Power consumed by the motor

Pmotor=5000 W

Power used in lifting the water

Pwater=mght=75×10×51=3750 W

The efficiency of the motor is

η=PwaterPmotor×100%

η=37505000×100%=75%
