Chapter 3 Problem p3.114

Question

Water fl ows through a circular nozzle, exits into the air as a jet, and strikes a plate, as shown in Fig. P3.114. The force required to hold the plate steady is 70 N. Assuming steady, frictionless, one-dimensional fl ow, estimate ( a ) the velocities at sections (1) and (2) and ( b ) the mercury manometer reading h . P3.114 F Water at 20C Hg D1 = 10 cm D2 = 3 cm Air h

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 3 problem number 114 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Water fl ows through a circular nozzle, exits into the air as a jet, and strikes a plate, as shown in Fig. P3.114. The force required to hold the plate steady is 70 N. Assuming steady, frictionless, one-dimensional fl ow, estimate ( a ) the velocities at sections (1) and (2) and ( b ) the mercury manometer reading h . P3.114 F Water at 20C Hg D1 = 10 cm D2 = 3 cm Air h
From the textbook chapter Pressure Distribution in a Fluid you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
