Question

what is the function of the mechanical seal? powers pump and spins impeller makes the pump water tight translates power and absorbs shock and vibration holds the impeller transfers force from the motor to the impeller question 2 (1 point) what role do bearings play in a pump a unit that absorbs shock and vibrations a rotating component of a centrifugal pump a housing unit support system to ensure alignment

Explanation:

For the first question: Mechanical seals in pumps create a barrier to prevent fluid leakage, making the pump water-tight. Other options describe functions of motors, shafts, or impeller housings.
For the second question: Bearings in pumps support the rotating shaft, maintaining proper alignment to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation. The other options describe different pump components or functions.

Answer:

1. Makes the pump water tight
2. Support system to ensure alignment
