Question:medium

A pump lifts 72,000 litres of water per hour against a total head of 19 meters. Compute the water horse power.

Show Hint

To quickly calculate metric Water Horsepower during an exam, use this simple formula: \[ \text{WHP} = \frac{Q \text{ (L/s)} \times H \text{ (m)}}{75} \] For this problem: \(\frac{20 \times 19}{75} = \frac{380}{75} \approx 5.07 \text{ hp}\).
