Oil (SG = 0.88) flows at 5 ft /s from one tank, through a pump, to another

Question:

Oil (SG = 0.88) flows at 5 ft /s from one tank, through a pump, to another tank. The pipe diameter between the source tank and the pump is 12 in, and the pipe diameter between the pump and the destination tank is 6 in. The liquid level in the source tank is 10 ft above the pump, which is at ground level. The liquid level in the destination tank is 12 ft. The source tank is at 25 psia, and the destination tank is open to the atmosphere. A manometer is connected to the upstream and downstream pipes, immediately adjacent to the pump, with a differential height of 36 in of mercury. The pump is 75% efficient. Frictional losses may be neglected.

What is the power rating of the pump?

What is the maximum possible height of the bottom of the destination tank?
