Question

a) Find the cross-sectional area of the incoming jet (in cm^2)

 

b) Find the horizontal force on the block (in Newtons)

(Note: remember to convert the area of the jets from cm^2 to m^2!)

 

c) The vertical force on the block is found to be Fy. What velocity of the incoming jet (i.e. what value of u1) would be needed to generate a force of 4Fy?

(Note that you don't need to actually find Fy to solve this question!)

A jet of water flows from left to right and hits a splitter block, as shown in the figure.
Some of the jet is diverted upwards and some of it downwards. The incoming jet has a
velocity U₁ = 1.9 m/s and a cross-sectional area A₁-
The jet that is deflected upwards has a velocity U₂ = 0.9 m/s, a cross-sectional area
A2 = 15 cm² and is at an angle 02 = 25° with respect to the horizontal.
The jet that is deflected downwards has a velocity U3 = 0.8 m/s, a cross-sectional
area A3 = 10 cm² and is at an angle 03 = 30° with respect to the horizontal.
The density of water is p =1000 kg/m³.
