Calculate the power of a pump that can lift 200 kg of water through a height of 6 m in 10 seconds. (1200 watts)

Difficulty: Easy

Solution:      

   Mass = m = 200 kg
                     Height = h = 6m
                     Power = P = ?


                     Power =$\frac{work}{time}$ = $\frac{w}{t}$ = $\frac{mgh}{t}$
                     P = $\frac{(200 \times 10\times 6)}{10}$ 
                     P = 1200 W
