Question: A pump draws water trough a 20 cm suction pipe and discharges it trough a 10 cm pipe in which
the velocity is 3(m)/(s). The 10 cm pipe discharges horizontally into air at point C . To what height h above
the water surface at A can the water be raised if 35 kW is delivered to the pump? Assume that the pump
operates at 60% efficiency and that the head loss in the pipe between A and C is equal to 2(V_(c)^(2))/(2)g. Assume
\alpha =1.0 at all locations.
