A pressure-pump has a horizontal tube of cross-sectional area for the outflow of water at a speed of . The force exerted on the vertical wall just in front of the tube which stops water horizontally flowing out of the tube, is: [given : density of water ]
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Volume of water coming out of the pipe per sec
Mass of water hitting the wall per second
As the water hits the wall normal to the wall and stops, the change of momentum of water hitting the wall is
Since, the change of momentum obtained is per unit time, it is same as the force.
Thus, the force acting on the wall by water = force experienced by water jet.
