Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cylindrical tank with a radius of 2m discharges water through a nozzle of 0.5m radius at a velocity of 5m/s. Calculate the force exerted on the walls of the nozzle.
💡 Hint: Use flow rate continuity for your calculations.
If the density of water is 1000 kg/m³, find the force on a sluice gate when the flow depth is 8m, and the velocity is 3m/s.
💡 Hint: Apply the hydrostatic pressure formula to determine the force.
