An engine pumps up $100 kg $ of water through a height of  $10 m$  in $ 5 s. $ Given that the efficiency of the engine is $ 60\%$  . If $g = 10m{s^{ - 2}}$, the power of the engine is .............. $\mathrm{kW}$

Work output of engine $= mgh = $ $100 \times 10 \times 10 = {10^4}J$

Efficiency ($\eta$) = $\frac{{{\rm{output}}}}{{{\rm{input}}}}$

Input energy = $\frac{{{\rm{outupt}}}}{\eta }$

$ = \frac{{{{10}^4}}}{{60}} \times 100 = \frac{{{{10}^5}}}{6}J$

 Power = $\frac{{{\rm{input energy}}}}{{{\rm{time}}}}$= $\frac{{{{10}^5}/6}}{5} = \frac{{{{10}^5}}}{{30}} = 3.3\;kW$
