Question 701 of 141

Retired question: the Coast Guard no longer draws it on exams. Practice the current Engineering Safety module instead.

What would be the minimum number of strokes per minute required from a 10" x 8" x 12" duplex double acting reciprocating bilge pump, operating at 96% efficiency, to keep the bilge water level from continuing to rise?
