Water is pumped from one storage tank to a higher tank at a steady rate of 10

Question:

Water is pumped from one storage tank to a higher tank at a steady rate of 10-3 m3 /s. The difference in the elevations of the two water tanks is 50 m. The storage tank, which serves a source, is open to the atmosphere, while the tank receiving the water has a pressure of 170.3 kPa. Pressure gauges in the pipeline at the inlet and outlet of the pump read 34.5 kPa and 551.6 kPa, respectively. The power supplied by an electric motor to the pump shaft is 1000 W. All piping is 1-in, schedule-40 steel pipe.

Find the pump efficiency and friction loss in the pipe per kg of water.
