3. A pump draws water from an 8 in. suction pipe and discharges through a 6 in. pipe in which the velocity is 12 fps. The pressure is -5 psi at point 1 in the suction. The 6 in. pipe discharges horizontally into the air. The total head loss between points 1& 2 is equal to 2.3ft. The motor with a speed of 1950rpm delivered 30hp to the pump whose efficiency is 70. Determine:
