The efficiency of a pump will drop suddenly if cavitation takes place in the pump. This phenomenon

Question:

The efficiency of a pump will drop suddenly if cavitation takes place in the pump. This phenomenon is observed in a particular pump (with u = 0.08) operating at sea level, and the pump delivers 0.42 m3/ sec of water at 40°C. Determine the sum of the gauge pressure head and the velocity head at the inlet (i.e., the sum, not the individual components). The total head delivered by the pump is 85 m, and the suction pipe diameter is 30 cm.
