Question:
The power of an engine which draws 1000 kg of water from a well of depth 9 m in one minute is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 10$ m/s$^2$)
The power of an engine which draws 1000 kg of water from a well of depth 9 m in one minute is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 10$ m/s$^2$)
Show Hint
To compute power, divide the total work done (mgh) by time in seconds.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Work done to lift water = $mgh = 1000 \times 10 \times 9 = 90000$ J
Time taken = 1 minute = 60 s
Power = $\dfrac{\text{Work}}{\text{Time}} = \dfrac{90000}{60} = 1500$ W = 1.5 kW
Time taken = 1 minute = 60 s
Power = $\dfrac{\text{Work}}{\text{Time}} = \dfrac{90000}{60} = 1500$ W = 1.5 kW
