(choose chapter or problem)

Water is pumped from a lake to a storage tank \(15\ m\) above at a rate of \(70\ L/s\) while consuming \(15.4\ kW\) of electric power. Disregarding any frictional losses in the pipes and any changes in kinetic energy, determine (a) the overall efficiency of the pump–motor unit and (b) the pressure difference between the inlet and the exit of the pump.
