A centrifugal pump is used to pump water (density 1000 kg/m3) from an inlet pressure of 105 Pa to an exit pressure of 2×105 Pa. The exit is at an elevation of 10 m above the pump. The average velocity of the fluid is 10 m/s. The cross-sectional area of the pipes at the pump inlet and outlet is 10-3 m2 and acceleration due to gravity is g = 10 m/s2. Neglecting losses in the system, the power (in Watts) delivered by the pump is ______ (rounded off to the nearest integer).
Correct : 2000
