A single-acting reciprocating pump running at 50 r.p.m. delivers 0.00736 m³/s of water. The diameter of the piston is 200 mm and stroke length 300 mm. The suction and delivery heads are 3.5 m and 11.5 m respectively. Determine : (i) Theoretical discharge (ii) Co-efficient of discharge (iii) Percentage slip of the pump.
