100%

A cart of mass 400 kg traveling at a speed of 15 m/s is struck by a 50-L/s jet of water flowing at 40 m/s.

a. If the water jet goes in the same direction as the cart, what is the applied acceleration force?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given data:-

The given cart mass is, $m = 400 kg$

The velocity of the cart is, $u = 15 m / s$

The velocity of the fluid is, $v = 40 m / s$

$Q = 50 l / s = 50 \times 10^{- 3} m / s$
