Problem 3
Consider a vane used to redirect a stream of water, as shown below. The thin water film
has a thickness of 8 = 10 mm and goes deep into the page. Your goal is to determine the
reaction force necessary to keep the vane stationary, as well as the instantaneous
acceleration in the absence of a reaction force in the x-direction. The velocity of the jet is
20 m/s and 0 = 35°. Assume the system extends into the page 1 m, and the mass of liquid
plus cart is 25 kg.
1. Sketch and annotate an appropriate control volume to calculate reaction forces.
2. Assuming Vyane = 0, calculate the rection forces necessary to keep the vane
stationary.
3. Calculate the instantaneous acceleration of the control volume in the absence of a
reaction force in the x-direction (Voane = 0).
4. Calculate the instantaneous acceleration at the moment the vane velocity is half the
jet velocity.

- Elisha Graves Otis invented the elevator brake in the mid-1800s, making it possible to build tall skyscrapers with fast elevators. Todays skyscrapers are a large fraction of a mile tall; for example. Taipei 101 in Taiwan has 101 stories and is 515 m (0.32 miles) tall. The top speed of the elevator in the Taipei 101 tower is roughly three times greater than the ascent rate of a commercial jet airplane. The position and time data in the table are based on such an elevator. a. Working in SI units, make a position-versus-time graph for the elevator. (You may wish to use a spreadsheet program.) b.
