a pump draws water from a pit through a vertical 30 cm pipe which extends below the water surface. it discharges into a 15 cm horizontal pipe 4.0 m above the water surface. while pumping 60 liters/s, a pressure gage on the discharge pipe reads 165 kpa and a gage on the suction pipe shows a vacuum of 35 kpa. both gages are close to the pump and are separated by a vertical distance of 90 cm. compute the head lost in the suction pipe. compute the change in energy per second between the gages. what is the power output of the pump?
