3 A pump is being used to empty a flooded basement.
In one minute, 400 litres of water are pumped out of the basement.
The water is raised 8 metres and is ejected through a pipe at a speed of \(2 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
The mass of 400 litres of water is 400 kg .
- Calculate the gain in potential energy of the 400 litres of water.
- Calculate the gain in kinetic energy of the 400 litres of water.
- Hence calculate the power of the pump, giving your answer in watts.
