Question 7

An engineer is testing a prototype electric water pump designed for off-grid irrigation. During a trial run, the pump operates continuously for 450 s450\text{ s}450 s. It delivers a constant useful mechanical power output of 16 W16\text{ W}16 W and has an efficiency of 32%32\%32%.

a.

Calculate the total useful energy output of the pump during this trial.

[2]
b.

State the equation linking efficiency, useful energy output, and total energy input.

[1]
c.

Calculate the total energy input to the pump during this period.
