Houston Community College Fluids in Motion Power in Kilowatts Problem

 

I’m trying to learn for my Engineering class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

A pump is used to elevate oil through a height of 18 m. If the head loss is 30 m and the flow rate is 0.9 cubic meters per minute and the pump is 60% efficient, determine the power in kilowatts required by the pump if the density of the oil is 870 kg/m3
