The document calculates the forces exerted on a curved plate by a fluid jet using impulse-momentum equations. It resolves the jet velocity into components parallel and perpendicular to the jet. It then calculates the forces in the x and y directions as 144N and 83.14N respectively. It concludes by finding the net force on the plate using the Pythagorean theorem to be 166.278N.

Given – A=A1 =A2 =15 cm2 =15×10 m2

ρ=1000 kg/m3 V=V1 =V2 =8 m/s

The velocity at the outlet of the plate can be resolved into the following two
components:

(i) Component of velocity in the direction of jet = – V cos θ

(–ve sign indicates that the velocity at the outlet is in a direction opposite to that of
the fluid jet)

(ii) Component of velocity perpendicular to the jet = V sin θ

Applying impulse-momentum equation, we have:

Force exerted by the jet (in the direction of jet),

Fx = ρAV (V1x – V2x )

where,

V1x = Initial velocity in the direction of jet = V

V2x = Final velocity in the direction of jet = – V cos θ

∴ Fx = ρAV [V – ( –V cos θ)]= ρ AV [V + V cos θ]

=1000×15×10 ×8[8+8cas60] =144 N

Similarly, Fy = ρAV (V1y – V2y )

where, V1y = Initial velocity in the direction of y = 0

V2y = Final velocity in the direction of y = -V sin θ

∴ Fy = ρAV [0 –(– V sin θ)] =ρAV2 sin θ

= 1000×15×10 ×8^2 sin60 = 83.14 N

∴ Net force in the curved plate,

FR =√F2x + F2y

2 2
FR =√144 + 83.14 =166.278 N
