The pumper truck shown in the figure to the right needs to deliver 2.09 ft³ /s to a maximum elevation of 60 ft above the hydrant. The pressure at the

4-in. diameter outlet of the hydrantis 10 psi. If all major and minor losses sum to 0.665 hp, determine the power that the pump must add to the water (y = 62.4 lbf/ft³).Use gravitational constant g = 32.3 ft/s?.Write your answer in units of hp (1hp = 550 ft*lb/s).
