Chapter 6 Problem 6.56

Question

Liquid (S = 1.5) enters the "black sphere" through a 5 em pipe with a velocity of 10 m/s and a pressure of 400 kPa. It leaves the sphere through two jets as shown. The velocity in the vertical jet is 30 m/s, and its diameter is 25 mm. The other jet's diameter is also 25 mm. What force through the 5 em pipe wall is required in the x- andy-directions to hold the sphere in place? Assume the sphere plus the liquid inside it weighs 600 N.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 6 problem number 56 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Liquid (S = 1.5) enters the "black sphere" through a 5 em pipe with a velocity of 10 m/s and a pressure of 400 kPa. It leaves the sphere through two jets as shown. The velocity in the vertical jet is 30 m/s, and its diameter is 25 mm. The other jet's diameter is also 25 mm. What force through the 5 em pipe wall is required in the x- andy-directions to hold the sphere in place? Assume the sphere plus the liquid inside it weighs 600 N.
From the textbook chapter MOMENTUM EQUATION you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
