NEETPhysicsWork Energy and PowerMCQ+4 / −1
An engine pumps water through a hose pipe. Water passes through the pipe and leaves it with a velocity of 2 m/s. The mass per unit length of water in the pipe is 100 kg/m. What is the power of the engine?
- A400 W
- B200 W
- C100 W
- D800 W
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Here,
Mass per unit length of water, = 100 kg/m
Velocity of water, v = 2 m/s
Power of the engine, P = v3 = (100 kg/m) (2 m/s)3
= 800 W
