    Stuck on a 1500hp Pump Problem: Solve for Velocity & Efficiency

    okay I know both of those equations, but why do I need to know gpe if I only need the speed of the water at the pumps mouth?

    Stuck on a 1500hp Pump Problem: Solve for Velocity & Efficiency

    Yes it does make sense but like I said I am lost on what formulas to use and how to use them. it has been a long time since I last had physics. If you can give me an idea of what to use to begin this equation I think I may be able to go from there. Thank you for your help so far

    Stuck on a 1500hp Pump Problem: Solve for Velocity & Efficiency

    so if kinetic energy is (1/2)mv^2 all over v what numbers go where? Maybe this is where I am getting lost? If the v on the top of the equation is velocity and the v on the bottom is volume correct?

    Stuck on a 1500hp Pump Problem: Solve for Velocity & Efficiency

    I have been working on this problem for 2 days and can't seem to figure it out.. A 1500hp pump throws a jet of water 125 m into the air. (a) With what speed does the water leave the mouth of the fountain. (b) If the overall efficiency is 60%, how many liters of water per minute are thrown...
