Answer:

200 lb•ft/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 2 tons

Time (t) = 5 mins

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

Next, we shall convert 2 tons to pound. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ton = 2000 lb

Therefore,

2 tons = 2 × 2000

2 tons = 4000 lb

Next, we shall convert 5 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 s

Therefore,

5 mins = 5 × 60

5 mins = 300 s

Finally, we shall determine the power of the pump. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 4000 lb

Time (t) = 300 s

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

P = F × h / t

P = 4000 × 15 / 300

P = 60000 / 300

P = 200 lb•ft/s

Thus, the power of the pump is 200 lb•ft/s
