    A motor is used to deliver water at a certain rate through a given horizontal pipe. To deliver n - times the water through the same pipe in the same time the power of the motor must be increased as follows

    A) \[n\text{ }-\text{ }times~\]                           

    B) \[{{n}^{2}}-times~\]

    C) \[{{n}^{3}}-times~\]                    

    D) \[{{n}^{4}}-times~\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If the motor pumps water (density\[=\rho \]) continuously through a pipe of area of cross- section A with velocity v, then mass flowing out per second. \[m=Av\rho \]                                                    ...(i) Rate of increase of kinetic energy \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}(Av\rho ){{v}^{2}}\]                                ?(ii) Mass m, flowing out per sec, can be increased to m' by increasing v to v? then power increases from P to P'. \[\frac{P'}{P}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}A\rho {{v}^{,3}}}{\frac{1}{2}A\rho {{v}^{3}}}\]or \[\frac{P'}{P}={{\left( \frac{v'}{v} \right)}^{3}}\] Now,        \[\frac{m'}{m}=\frac{A\rho v'}{A\rho v}=\frac{v'}{v}\] As     \[m'=nm,\,\,v'=nv\] \[\therefore \]       \[\frac{P'}{P}={{n}^{3}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]     \[P'={{n}^{3}}P\]
