Previous Year Question

In firefighting vertical water pump, an hydraulic turbulence can exert alternating dynamic forces on the vertical structure. Statement-1: The frequencies of these dynamic forces are independent on the speed of the pump. Statement-2: When the frequency of dynamic forces matches the natural frequency of a pump component, the resonant vibration will occur.

Both statements are True
Statement-1 is True, but Statement-2 is False
Statement-1 is False, but Statement-2 is True
Both statements are False

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Hydraulic excitation frequencies in a vertical pump are linked to rotational speed, blade passing and flow phenomena, so they are not independent of pump speed. Resonance occurs when an excitation frequency coincides with a structural natural frequency. Thus statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true: option C.

Formula

Resonance: fforcing ≈ fnatural

Step-by-step solution

Correct Answer

C — Statement-1 is False, but Statement-2 is True

Statement-wise Analysis

Statement 1: False

Statement 2: True

Concept and Reasoning

Calculation / Key Relation

Resonance: fforcing ≈ fnatural

Exam Takeaway

Pump speed changes forcing frequency; resonance is frequency matching.

Common Mistake

Do not assume hydraulic forcing has a fixed frequency independent of shaft speed.
