A stream of a liquid of density flowing horizontally with speed rushes out of a tube of radius and hits a vertical wall nearly normally. Assuming that the liquid does not rebound from the wall, the force exerted on the wall by the impact of the liquid is given by
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Cross-sectional area ,
Volume of liquid flowing per second
Mass of the liquid flowing out per second
Initial momentum of liquid per second
= mass of liquid flowing Speed of liquid
Since the liquid does not rebound after impact, the momentum after impact is zero.
Rate of change of momentum
According to Newton's second law, the force exerted on wall
= rate of change of momentum
