6. A pump is used to take 20 L/s of water at 20 C from a tank to an open discharge 18 m above ground. The tank is open to

air and filled to 5 m above ground. The pipe used after the pump is has a 4-cm inner diameter. Assuming negligible frictional losses, calculate the pump power requirements if its efficiency is 45%. (10 pts)
