Multiply the volumetric flowrate by the pressure rise and divide by the efficiency.

That was an order

"ANSWER ME"

only forgot to capitalise

so the answer has to be dry (with that tone it may be wet somewhere else ).

HP = ω × Q × H / 75 ×ξ

Where; ω is water density = 1000 Kg / CU meter

Q is pump discharge in Cubic meter /second

H is total head In meter

ξ is pump efficiency

example : for water pump with discharge of 60 CU. meter per hour at a total head 40 meter

HP = ω × Q × H / 75 ×ξ

ω = 1000 Kg / Cu meter

Q = 60 / 3600 =0.01667 Cu metre / second

H = 40 m

Consider pump efficiency 60 %

HP = 1000 ×0.01667 × 40 × 100 / 75 × 60 = 14.8 HP
