A) 2250 N
B) 2000 N
C) 1500N
D) 1000N
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Area of cross-section of the tube, \[a={{10}^{-2}}{{m}^{2}}\]Speed of stream of water = 15 m/s V = Volume of water coming out per second from the tube \[=a\times v=15\times {{10}^{-2}}{{m}^{3}}{{s}^{-1}}\]. Also, we know that density of water striking the wall per second, then \[m=pV={{10}^{3}}\times 15\times {{10}^{-2}}kg{{s}^{-1}}=150\,kg{{s}^{-1}}\] As on hitting the wall, water does not reobound, so F = change in momentum per second = mass of water flowing out per second \[\times \]velocity \[=150\times 15=2250\,N\]You need to login to perform this action.
