Water is pumped steadily out of a flooded basement at a speed of 6.1 m/s through a uniform hose of radius 0.89 cm. the hose passes out through a window to a street ditch 2.9 m above the waterline. what is the power of the pump?

47.83W

Explanation:

Suppose that Δm of water is pumped in time Δt

The potential energy of the water increases by the steady pumping of  water.

                                        ΔU = (Δm)gh

where,

h is the vertical distance through which it is lifted, and

This increases the kinetic energy by

                        ΔK = (Δm)v²

where v is its final speed

The workdone  is given by;

                          ΔW = ΔU + ΔK

                    ⇒ ΔW = (Δm)gh + (Δm)v²

and its power is given by;

                                 P = ΔW/Δt

                           ⇒ P = Δm/Δt (gh + (Δm)v²)

The rate of mass flow is Δm/Δt = ρ × A × v

                        ∴  Rate of mass flow = ρAv

where,

ρ is the density of water

A is the area of the hose

A = πr²

  A = π (0.0089)² = 2.49 × 10⁻⁴ m²

Rate of mass flow ρAv = (1000kg/m³) x (2.49 × 10⁻⁴ m²) x (6.1 m/s)

                                       = 1.52 kg/s

The power of the pump is;

P = ρAv (gh + (Δm)v²)

P = (1.52kg/s)( (9.8m/s² × 2.9m) + 1)

P = 1.52 × 31.47

P = 47. 83W

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
