Question
In the figure, suppose that 0 = 30°, V1 = 100 ft/s and the stream is a jet of water with an initial diameter of 2 in.
Assume friction losses such that V2 = 95 ft/s. Assuming the flow is steady and occurs in a horizontal plane,
determine
(a) The flow rate (ft/s)
(b) The diameter (in) of the jet at section 2.
(c) The x-component Frx of the reaction of the curved vane on the water jet, and
Express all forces in pounds.
