Answer:
Input to the electric motor=2.99 hp.
Explanation:
Given
Out put from pump=2 hp
[tex]We\ know\ that\ efficiency\ \eta =\dfrac{out\ put}{in\ put}[/tex]
To find input to the pump
[tex] \eta =\dfrac{out\ put}{in\ put}[/tex]
⇒[tex]0.89=\dfrac{2}{in\ put}[/tex]
So in put=2.24 hp.
Now to find electric motor in put
[tex] 0.75 =\dfrac{2.24}{in\ put}[/tex]
So input to the electric motor=2.99 hp.
