A jet of water of diameter 50 mm, having a velocity of 30 m/s strikes a curved vane which is moving
with a velocity of 15 m/s in the direction of the jet. The jet leaves the vane at an angle of 60° to the
direction of motion of vanes at outlet. Determine : (i) the force exerted by the jet on the vane in the
direction of motion, (ii) work done per second by the jet.
[Ans. (i) 662.5 N, (ii) 9937.5 Nm/s]
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.
Consider an airplane with a jet engine attached to the tail section that expels combustion gases at a rate of 18 kg/s with a velocity of V = 300 m/s relative to the plane. During landing, a thrust reverser (which serves as a brake for the aircraft and facilitates landing on a short runway) is lowered in the path of the exhaust jet, which deflects the exhaust rearward 120 degrees, as shown below.
Determine (a) the thrust (forward force) that the engine produces prior to the insertion of the thrust reverser and (b) the braking force produced after the thrust reverser is deployed.
