With a centrifugal pump directly connected to a diesel engine, 148 liters of water will be sucked 5 m deep and pumped 48 m high. The engine will be run at 1500 rpm. The total head loss in the suction pipe is 4 m.SS, the total head loss in the discharge pipe is 9 m.SS. Since the overall efficiency of the pump is 68%, find the power used by the pump.
