Consider an airplane with a jet engine attached to the tail section that expels combustion gases at a rate of 18 kg/s with a velocity of V = 300 m/s relative to the plane. During landing, a thrust reverser (which serves as a brake for the aircraft and facilitates landing on a short runway) is lowered in the path of the exhaust jet, which deflects the exhaust rearward 120 degrees, as shown below.
Determine (a) the thrust (forward force) that the engine produces prior to the insertion of the thrust reverser and (b) the braking force produced after the thrust reverser is deployed.
A large lawn sprinkler with four identical arms is to be converted into a turbine to generate electric power by
attaching a generator to its rotating head. Water enters the sprinkler from the base along the axis of rotation at a
rate of 12 kg/s and leaves the nozzles in the tangential direction at a velocity of 45 m/s relative to the rotating nozzle.
The sprinkler rotates at a rate of 500 rpm in a horizontal plane. The normal distance between the axis of rotation and
the center of each nozzle is 30 cm. Estimate the torque produced.
