    The power of pump, which can pump 200 kg of water to a height of 50 m in 10 s, will be :

    A)  \[10\times {{10}^{3}}\,W\]    

    B)  \[20\times {{10}^{3}}\,W\]

    C)  \[4\times {{10}^{3}}\,W\]

    D)  \[6\times {{10}^{3}}\,W\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The rate of doing work by a machine is called its power. Power \[=\frac{work}{time}\] Water possesses potential energy due to its height, this potential energy equals the work. \[W=mgh=200\times 10\times 50\] \[=100000\,J=100\,kJ\] Given, \[t=10\,s\] \[\therefore \] \[p=\frac{100\times {{10}^{3}}}{10}=10\times {{10}^{3}}W\]
