PROBLEM: 1 A jet water in 1 in. in diameter in having a velocity of 25 ft. per sec. strikes against
a plate as in Fig. 145a. Determine the force on the plate: (a) if the plate is fixed; (b) if the plate is
moving in the same direction as the jet with a uniform velocity of 10 ft. per sec.

PROBLEM: 3 A nozzle discharges 2 cfs with a velocity of 50 ft. per sec. The nozzle is inclined downward
so that as the jet strikes a fixed curved vane it is 30 degrees down from the horizontal. The jet is deflected
upward 90 degrees, making an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal as it leaves the vane. Determine X
and Y components of the force exerted.

PROBLEM: 5 A horizontal nozzle discharges 4.0 cfs with a velocity of 80 ft. per sec. The jet
stirkes an unsymmetrical two-cusped vane that is moving in the same direction as the jet with a
velocity of 20 ft. per sec. Half of the jet deflected upward by a cusp that has a deflection angle 90
degress, and the other half is deflected down ward by a cusp with a deflection angle of 45 degrees.
Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted on the vane.

PROBLEM: 7 A horizontal jet of 2.0 cfs strikes tangentially on one or another of a series of
moving curved vanes, each having a deflection angle of 60 degrees. The water as it leaves the vane
has an absolute velocity of 40 ft. per sec and makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal.
Determine: (a) the horizontal force exerted on the vanes, and (b) the horse power developed.

PROBLEM: 1 A jet 1 in. in diameter and having a velocity of 40 ft. per sec strikes normally
against a flat plate moving in the same direction as the jet. Determine: (a) the velocity of the
plate if the jet is to perform the maximum amount of work; (b) the corresponding amount of
work in foot-pounds per second.

PROBLEM: 3 A 1 2 in. nozzle has a coefficient of velocity of 0.97 and a coefficient of
contraction of unity. The base of the nozzle has a diameter of 4 in, at which point the gage
pressure is 80 lb. per sq. in. The jet strikes a double-cusped vane which has a deflection angle of
150 degrees and a velocity in the direction of the jet of 30 ft. per. Sec. Determine: (a) the exerted
