Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pipe has a diameter of 0.5 m at inlet and 0.3 m at outlet. Water flows at 3 m/s at the inlet. Calculate the velocity at the outlet.
💡 Hint: Make sure to keep units consistent!
A water jet strikes a flat plate with a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s and exits perpendicular to the plate. If the plate experiences no horizontal motion, calculate the force exerted on the plate.
💡 Hint: Use the change in momentum to find the force.
