Answer:

the output rating that should the pump motor have is 83.30 Watt

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The pump lift 20 kg of water per minute having a height of 25.50 m

We need to find out the output rating that should the pump motor have

As we know that

power = energy ÷ time

= m g h ÷ t

= 20.0 × 9.8 × 25.50 ÷ 60

= 83.30 Watts

Hence, the output rating that should the pump motor have is 83.30 Watt
