[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]
The power of an object doing a work W in a given time t is given by
[tex]\boxed{P = \frac{W}{t}}[/tex]
where:
P = power
W = work
t = time
[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]
Converting minutes to seconds
t = 3 min × (60 s / 1 min)
t = 180 s
Solving for P
[tex]P = \dfrac{W}{t}[/tex]
[tex]P = \dfrac{\text{3920 J}}{\text{180 s}}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{P = \text{21.78 W}}[/tex]
Therefore, the amount of power expended by the water pump is 21.78 W.
