It is sometimes useful to have hp - Q pump performance curves expressed in the form of an equation. Fit the h_p-Q data given in Problem 11.13 to an equation of the form h_p = h0 - kQ² and compare the values of hp determined from the equation with the experimentally determined values. (Hint: Plot h_p versus Q² and use the method of least squares to fit the data to the equation.)
