4 (a) Ona day with no wind, a fountain in Switzerland propels 30 000kg of water per minute to a
height of 140m.
Calculate the power used in raising the water.
power
(b) The efficiency of the pump which operates the fountain is 70%.
Calculate the power supplied to the pump.
power = ..
(c)_ On another day, a horizontal wind is blowing. The water does not rise vertically.
Explain why the water still rises to a height of 140m.2
‘An ornamental garden includes a small pond, which contains a pumped system that causes
water to go up a pipe and then to run down a heap of rocks.
Fig. 3.1 shows a section through this water feature.

‘The density of water is 1000kg/m?. A volume of 1 litre is equal to 0.001 m?.
(a) Calculate the mass of 1 litre of water.
(b) Calculate the work done raising 1 litre of water through @ height of 0.8m.
