    The Gardner waters the plants by a pipe of diameter 1 mm. The water comes out at the rate of 10 cm /sec. The reactionary force exerted on the hand of the gardner is:

    A)  zero

    B)  \[1.27\times {{10}^{-2}}N\]

    C)  \[1.27\times {{10}^{-4}}N\]

    D)  0.127 N

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The force is given by \[F=\frac{dp}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(m\upsilon )=V\rho \upsilon \] ...(1) where V is the volume of water flowing per second v = speed of the flow V = cross-sectional area \[\times \] velocity \[=A\upsilon \] or            \[\upsilon =\frac{V}{A}\]                  ...(2) So, putting the value of v in equation (1), we get \[F=V\rho \frac{V}{A}\] \[=\frac{{{V}^{2}}\rho }{A}=\frac{{{V}^{2}}\rho }{\pi {{r}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{{{V}^{2}}\rho }{\pi {{\left( \frac{D}{2} \right)}^{2}}}=\frac{4{{V}^{2}}\rho }{\pi {{D}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{4\times {{(10\times {{10}^{-6}})}^{2}}\times {{10}^{3}}}{3.14\times {{({{10}^{-3}})}^{2}}}\] \[=0.127N\]
