Two electric water pumps, Pump A and Pump B, are used to lift water vertically from the same depth.
Both pumps run for the same duration of time. Let MA M_A\,MA be the mass of water successfully raised by Pump A, and MB M_B\,MB be the mass of water successfully raised by Pump B.
Assuming all useful work done by the pumps goes entirely into increasing the gravitational potential energy of the water, which of the following relationships is correct?
MB=2MAM_B = 2M_AMB=2MA
MB=1.5MAM_B = 1.5M_AMB=1.5MA
MB=1.125MAM_B = 1.125M_AMB=1.125MA
MB=0.5MAM_B = 0.5M_AMB=0.5MA
