Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid flows through a pipe with varying diameter. How do you apply the continuity equation to find flow velocities at different points?
💡 Hint: Remember to consider how cross-sectional area impacts velocity.
Calculate the force exerted on a wall by a hydraulic jet of diameter 5 cm flowing at 15 m/s if the fluid density is 1000 kg/m³.
💡 Hint: You may need to compute the area first for flow calculations.
