    A motor is used to deliver water at a certain rate through a given horizontal pipe. To deliver \[n-\]times the water through the same pipe in the same time the power of the motor must be increased as follows

    A) \[n-\]times                        

    B) \[{{n}^{2}}-\]times

    C) \[{{n}^{3}}-\]times                         

    D) \[{{n}^{4}}-\]times

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If the motor pumps water (density\[=\rho )\] continuously through a pipe of area of cross-section \[A\] with velocity\[v\], then mass flowing out per second.                 \[m=Av\rho \]                                   ... (i) Rate of increase of kinetic energy                 \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}(Av\rho ){{v}^{2}}\]                                ? (ii) Mass\[m\], flowing out per sec, can be increased to \[m'\] by increasing \[v\] to\[v'\], then power increases from \[P\] to\[P'\].                 \[\frac{P'}{P}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}A\rho v{{'}^{3}}}{\frac{1}{2}A\rho {{v}^{3}}}or\frac{P'}{P}={{\left( \frac{v'}{v} \right)}^{3}}\] Now,     \[\frac{m'}{m}=\frac{A\rho v'}{A\rho v}=\frac{v'}{v}\] As           \[m'=nm,\,\,v'=nv\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{P'}{P}={{n}^{3}}\Rightarrow P'={{n}^{3}}p\]
