A 10 cm diameter horizontal jet delivers water at an absolute pressure of 300 kPa and a velocity of 20 m/s. The water strikes a curved plate which deflects the water 180° at the same speed and into atmospheric pressure. Ignoring frictional and gravitational effects, determine the following: • Consider p = 1000 kg/m3 and atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa
What are the valid assumptions (select all valid choices)?
What is the horizontal force (Rx) that must be applied to keep the plate in place?
What is the vertical force (Ry) that must be applied to keep the plate in place?
If the maximum force that the plate can hold is 10 kN, what is the maximum allowable speed that can hit the plate without moving it?
