An electric-powered water pump must fill up a 50,000 gallon elevated water tank in which the water averages 60 feet above the pump and water source.

a) How much energy does that take?

b) If the 50,000 gal. must be pumped up in 2 hours, how much power will it take to do this at a steady state? (give answers for (a) and (b) in English units.)

c) The motor/pump combination is 75 % efficient in converting electricity to fluid kinetic energy - how much electrical power is needed for part (b)?
