7.(30 points) A pump takes water from a large tank and discharges it into the atmosphere through a horizontally-oriented, 25-mm nozzle. The nozzle is 4 meters above the water surface and is connected to the pump's 50-cm diameter discharge pipe. In the 50-cm diameter pipe just before the nozzle, the pressure is 276 kPa . The efficiency of the pump is \(80\%\).
a.(14 pts) What is the volumetric flow rate from the nozzle in \(\mathrm{m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\)?
b.(8 pts) What is the useful head of the pump in meters?
c.(8 pts) What is the minimum power required for the pump have in kW ?
