Who developed the first successful steam engine?

The idea of using steam for driving stationary machinery originated in the early centuries. For a long time, no one seemed to have thought of using steam for transportation purposes. In the earlier historical records, there is mention of "heat engines," which were used for organ blowing, the turning of spits1, and like purposes. But from this early date until the 17th century, practically no progress was made in the use of steam. Though men had experimented with steam up to this time with more or less success, the world is chiefly indebted for the developed type of the steam engine to James Watt and George Stephenson.     James Watt, who secured the position as a maker of scientific instruments in the University of Glasgow, proposed an idea for improving the existing steam engine, which was used for pumping mines. For a long time, owing to a lack of money, he had difficulty in establishing the merits of his improvements. Finally, he formed a partnership with Matthew Boulton, a wealthy and energetic man who lived at Birmingham, England. They began the manufacture of steam engines at Birmingham, under the firm name of Boulton and Watt. This partnership was very successful. Watt supplied the inventions; Boulton furnished the money and attended to the business.     Before the time of Watt, the steam engine was exclusively a steam pump—slow and wasteful of fuel. Watt made it a quick, powerful, and efficient engine, requiring only a fourth as much fuel as before. Under his first patent, the engine was still used only as a steam pump, but his later improvements adapted it for driving stationary machinery of all kinds. The commercial success of his engine was soon fully established.     George Stephenson further modified Boulton and Watt Company's creation. Stephenson initiated the use of steam for carrying passengers and goods. In September 1825, the first train passed over the road. It consisted of thirty-four cars weighing, all told, ninety tons. The train was pulled by Stephenson's engine, operated by Stephenson himself, with a signalman riding on horseback in advance. The train moved off at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour, and on certain parts of the road it reached a speed of fifteen miles per hour. The trial was a complete success.1. a rotatable machine that is used to cook meat3Select the correct answer.Which sentence from the passage supports the idea that the "world is chiefly indebted" to James Watt and George Stephenson for developing the steam engine?

Read the following passage and answer the question.The Industrial Revolution, a period of rapid industrialization and technological advancements, had a profound impact on society in the 18th and 19th centuries. One of the key developments during this time was the invention of the steam engine, which revolutionized transportation and powered machinery in factories. This led to the growth of cities, the rise of capitalism, and significant changes in labour practices.In what ways did the invention of the steam engine during the Industrial Revolution transform society?It resulted in the emergence of capitalist systems, changes in labor practices, and the growth of cities.It led to increased power in the growing cities.It led to the rise of cities and factories.It led to rapid industrialization and technological advancements.
