A jet of water issues from a nozzle with a velocity 20 m/s and it impinges normally on a flat plate moving away from it at 10 m/s. The crosssectional area of the jet is 0.01 m², and the density of water = 1000 kg/m³. The force developed on the plate is
-
- 1000 N
- 100 N
- 10 N
- 2000 N
Correct Option: A
The force developed on the plate,
Fx = ρa(vj - u)² = 1000 × 0.01(20 10)²
Fx = 1000 N
