The power required for pumping is the product of the fluid's density, acceleration due to gravity, flow rate, and the total head the pump must overcome. The total head includes static head and head losses due to friction and other factors.
Water is pumped through a pipeline to a height of 10 m at the rate of $0.1$ m$^3$/s. If the frictional and other losses amount to 5 m, the pumping power required in kW would be - Question not attempted
