A rain cloud contains 4.2 × 10^5 kg of water vapor. How long would it take for a 4000 W pump to raise the same amount of water to the cloud’s altitude, 3.500 km?

it will take 1,000.42 hours to raise the same amount of water.

Explanation:

mass of the water to be raised, m = 4.2 x 10⁵ kg

power applied in lifting the water, P = 4000 W

height through which the water will be lifted, h = 3.500 km = 3,500 m

The power applied the water is given as follows;

Therefore, it will take 1,000.42 hours to raise the same amount of water.

well, you would divide 135 by 33 to get your answer. then that is how many seconds it would take. boardman should fly about 132 m or 4.090909090909091 seconds.

the answer is 12 as i may remember
