Question

A jet of water of diameter 7.5 cm strikes a curved plate at its centre with a velocity of 20 m/sec. The curved plate is moving with a velocity of 8 m/sec in the direction of the jet. The jet is deflected through an angle of 165°. Assuming the plate to be smooth, find :

(i) Force exerted on the plate in the direction of jet,

(ii) Power of the jet,

(iii) Efficiency of the jet.
