Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A sluice gate at a depth of 10m experiences a flow velocity of 4m/s. Calculate the horizontal force on the gate if the density of water is 1000 kg/m³.
💡 Hint: Focus on hydrostatic pressure for calculations.
A horizontal water jet with a diameter of 10mm flows into a plate, creating a force. Given velocity at 5m/s, find the force with ρ = 1000 kg/m³.
💡 Hint: Use continuity principles to relate jet area to velocity.
