Question
A water jet strikes a triangular block resting on a stationary table and is deflected
30° as shown in Fig. B.5. The mass flow rate of the water jet is gradually
increased to 30 kg/s such that the block starts to slide on the table. The mass of
the block is 1.5 kg. Assuming that the weight of the water can be neglected, and
the inlet and outlet velocities of the jet are the same and remain unchanged.

(a)
Determine the horizontal and vertical forces against the block due to the
water jet, in terms of the velocity of the water jet, V.
(b)
If the cross-sectional area of the water jet is 40 cm?, determine the velocity
of the water jet and the coefficient of friction, µ between the block and the
table.
