I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The <span> idea of plate tectonics was difficult for many scientists to accept for many years after it was first introduced because there </span><span>was no explanation yet for how it was happening. It was only to the recent times that these were proven. </span>

Describe the formation of galaxies.
olga2289 [7]

Today's cosmologists assume that matter was not uniformly distributed in the universe after the Big Bang. Dense places attract more matter than the surrounding area according to their gravitational forces. Over the course of billions of years, these gas agglomerations eventually led to the formation of the galaxies we see today.

A centrifugal pump discharges 300 gpm against a head of 55 ft when the speed is 1500 rpm. The diameter of the impeller is 15.5 i
Ksivusya [100]

Answer: Question 1: Efficiency is 0.6944

Question 2: speed of similar pump is 2067rpm

Explanation:

Question 1:

Flow rate of pump 1 (Q1) = 300gpm

Flow rate of pump 2 (Q2) = 400gpm

Head of pump (H)= 55ft

Speed of pump1 (v1)= 1500rpm

Speed of pump2(v2) = ?

Diameter of impeller in pump 1= 15.5in = 0.3937m

Diameter of impeller in pump 2= 15in = 0.381

B.H.P= 6.0

Assuming cold water, S.G = 1.0

eff= (H x Q x S.G)/ 3960 x B.H.P

= (55x 300x 1)/3960x 6

= 0.6944

Question 2:

Q = A x V. (1)

A1 x v1 = A2 x V2. (2)

Since A1 = A2 = A ( since they are geometrically similar

A = Q1/V1 = Q2/V2. (3)

V1(m/s) = r x 2π x N(rpm)/60

= (0.3937x 2 x π x 1500)/2x 60

= 30.925m/s

Using equation (3)

V2 = (400 x 30.925)/300

= 41.2335m/s

To rpm:

N(rpm) = (60 x V(m/s))/2 x π x r

= (60 x 41.2335)/ 2× π × 0.1905

= 2067rpm.
