Solution
S.I unit of work is Joule.
1 joule of work is said to be done when a force of 1 newton displaces a body through a distance of 1 meter in its own direction.

A pump is used to lift 600 kg of water from a depth of 75 m in 10s. Calculate:
- The work done by the pump,
- the power at which the pump works, and
- The power rating of the pump if its efficiency is 40%. (Take g = 10m s-2).
