    \[4\,\,{{m}^{3}}\] of water is to be pumped to a height of 20 m and forced into a reservoir at a pressure of \[2\times {{10}^{5}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]. The work done by the motor is (external pressure \[={{10}^{5}}N/{{m}^{2}}\])

    A)  \[8\times {{10}^{5}}J\]

    B)  \[16\times {{10}^{5}}J\]

    C)  \[12\times {{10}^{5}}J\]

    D)  \[32\times {{10}^{5}}J\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Work done \[W=mgh+\Delta pV\]                 \[=V\rho gh+\Delta \,pV\] Here, \[V=4\,{{m}^{3}},\rho ={{10}^{3}}kg/{{m}^{3}},g=10\,m/{{s}^{2}}\], \[h=20\,m,\,\Delta p=(2\times {{10}^{5}}-1\times {{10}^{5}})N/{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[W=4\times {{10}^{3}}\times 10\times 20\]                 \[+(2\times {{10}^{5}}-1\times {{10}^{5}})\times 4\]                 \[=8\times {{10}^{5}}+4\times {{10}^{5}}\] \[=12\times {{10}^{5}}J\]
