Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a sluice gate with h1 = 12m, h2 = 5m, and the water jet has a density of 1000kg/m³ at an average velocity of 2m/s, calculate the force on the gate.
💡 Hint: Look for hydrostatic pressure differences due to height.
Analyze a flat plate experiencing a width of 1m and hit by a jet of water with a 15mm diameter, velocity 10m/s, find the exerted force.
💡 Hint: An area from diameter calculation will guide you toward the momentum force.
