The document discusses the force exerted by a jet of water on both a vertical and inclined fixed plate. For a vertical plate, the force is equal to the mass flow rate times the jet velocity squared. For an inclined plate, the force in the direction of the jet is equal to the mass flow rate times the jet velocity squared times the sine of the angle between the jet and plate.

Question 1:- Obtain the expression for the force exerted by a jet of water on a fixed vertical plate?
Answer: - Consider a jet of water coming out from the nozzle, strikes a flat vertical plate as shown in Fig. 17.1 Let V = velocity of the jet, d = diameter of the jet, a = area of cross-section of the jet =
The jet after striking the plate will move along the plate. But the plate is at right angles to the jet. Hence the jet after striking will get deflected through 90. Hence the component of the velocity of jet in the direction of jet, after striking will be zero. The force exerted by the jet on the plate in the direction of jet, Fx = Rate of change of momentum in the direction of force = Initial momentum - Final momentum/Time = (Mass Initial velocity - Mass Final velocity)/Time = Mass/Time [Initial velocity Final velocity] = (Mass/sec) (velocity of jet before striking - velocity of jet after striking) = aV [V - 0] (.: mass/sec = a V) = aV2
Question 2:- Show that the force exerted by a jet on an inclined fixed plate in the direction of the jet is given by FX= aV2sin? Answer: - Let a jet of water coming out from the nozzle, strikes an inclined flat plate as shown in Fig. 17.2. Let V = Velocity of jet in the direction of x e = Angle between the jet and plate a = Area of cross-section of the jet
Then mass of water per sec striking the plate = aV
It the plate is smooth and if it is assumed that there is no loss of energy due to impact of the jet, then jet will move over the plate after striking with a velocity equal to initial velocity i.e., with a velocity V. Let us find the force exerted by the jet on the plate in the direction normal to the plate. Let this force is represented by Fn Then Fn = mass of jet striking per second [Initial velocity of jet before striking in the direction of n - Final velocity of jet after striking in the direction of n] = aV [Vsin -0] = aV2 sin
