A fireboal is to fight fires at coastal areas by drawing seawater with a density of 1030 kg/m3 through a 20-cm-diameter pipe at a rate of 0.1 m3/s and discharging it through a hose nozzle with an exit diameter of 5 cm. The total irreversible head loss of the system is 3 m, and the position of the nozzle is 3 m above sea level. For a pump efficiency of 70 percent, determine the required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity.
