A tank has two openings at different heights. Water flows into the tank at 5 liters per second while it leaks out at different rates through the openings. How would you compute the flow rates to ensure the tank's mass remains constant?
💡 Hint: Balance the inflow and outflow rates for the mass conservation.
A horizontal jet of water hits a flat surface at a specific angle, creating a force. Calculate the force exerted on the wall from the change in momentum of the water.
💡 Hint: Use Newton's laws relating momentum and force.
