Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Derive the expression for the horizontal force acting on a sluice gate if h1 is 5m, h2 is 2m, and the velocity at the inlet is 1m/s. Consider the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3.
💡 Hint: Think about how the pressure is different at each height and how that contributes to the overall force.
Calculate the momentum flux for a flow with an average velocity of 20 m/s and a density of 800 kg/m^3 during laminar conditions.
💡 Hint: Ensure you visualize how the area comes into play in this calculation.
