b)
According to a local scientist, a typical rain cloud at an altitude of 2 m will
contain, on average, 3×10' kg of water vapour. Determine how many hours it
would take a 2.5 kW pump to raise the same amount of water from the Earth's
surface to the cloud's position.
According to a local scientist, a typical rain cloud at an altitude of 2 m will contain, on average, 3×107 kg of water vapour. Determine how many hours it would take a 2.5 kW pump to raise the same amount of water from the Earth’s surface to the cloud’s position.
