2. In the test of a centrifugal pump with water, the rate of discharge was found to be 260 li/s, the pressure gage read 13 kg/cm² and the suction gage read 15 cm of mercury. The difference in elevation between the two gages was 0.8 m. The diameters of suction and discharge pipes are the same. Find the overall efficiency of the pump if the input horsepower is 600.
