Question

what role does the motor play in the pump?
translates power and absorbs shock and vibration
makes the pump water tight
powers the pump and spins impeller
transfers force from the motor to the impeller
holds the impeller
question 6 (1 point)
what causes low suction?
insufficient pump operation due to failing motor or viscous
overworked motor or running system past its rated output
failure to translate power and absorb vibrations
blocked intake due to decreased flow rate in pump source

Explanation:

For the first question: The motor provides the mechanical energy to operate the pump, and its rotational motion drives the impeller to move fluid. Sealing, shock absorption, force transfer, and impeller holding are functions of other pump components (like seals, couplings, shafts, or housings).
For the second question: A blocked intake restricts the fluid entering the pump, directly reducing the suction pressure and flow. Other options relate to motor issues or power transfer problems, which affect overall pump operation but not suction specifically.

Answer:

1. Powers the pump and spins impeller
2. blocked intake due to decreased flow rate in pump source
