71.A water pump develops a total head of 200 ft.

the pump efficiency if 80%and the motor efficiency

is 87.5%.if power rate is 1.5cents per kw-hr what is the power cost for pumping 1000gal?
Solution:
Pwater=yQH

=(62.4lb/ft^3)[(1000gal/hr)(1ft^3/7.48 gal)(1hr/3600s)](200ft)
=463.46hp

Pmotor =0.84/0.80(0.875)
=1.20hp=0.895kw
Power cost 0.895kw (0.015/kw-hr)
=0.0134/hr or 1.34cent/hr
