- The valve of a cylinder containing 15 kg of compressed gas is opened and the cylinder empties in 1min 20s. If the force exerted on the cylinder 4.0 N, show that the force required to accelerate the gas out of the cylinder is equal to (the change in momentum ) divided by ( the time taken) Find (i) the average velocity at which the gas issues from the exit nozzle of the cylinder (ii) the change in momentum of the gasarrow_forwardThe nozzle shown discharges water at the rate of 200 gal/min. Knowing that at both B and C the stream of water moves with a velocity of magnitude 100 ft/s, and neglecting the weight of the vane, determine the force-couple system that must be applied at A to hold the vane in place (1 ft3 = 7.48 gal).arrow_forwardThe main propulsion system of a space shuttle consists of three identical rocket engines, each of which burns the hydrogen-oxygen propellant at the rate of 750 lb/s and ejects it with a relative velocity of 12,000 ft/s. Determine the total thrust provided by the three engines.arrow_forward
- The vane is moving at 80 ft/s when a jet of water having a velocity of 150 ft/s enters at A. The cross-sectional area of the jet is 1.5 in2, and it is diverted as shown Determine the horsepower developed by the water on the blade. 1hp = 550 ft*lb/sarrow_forwardIn order to shorten the distance required for landing, a jet airplane is equipped with movable vanes that partially reverse the direction of the air discharged by each of its engines. Each engine scoops in the air at a rate of 120 kg/s and discharges it with a velocity of 600 m/s relative to the engine. At an instant when the speed of the airplane is 270 km/h, determine the reverse thrust provided by each of the engines.arrow_forwardA stream of water flowing at a rate of 1.2 m3/min and moving with a speed of 30 m/s at both A and B is deflected by a vane welded to a hinged plate.

The fuel in the second stage weighs 1000 lb. If it is consumed at the rate of 50lb/s and ejected with a relative velocity of 8000 ft/s, determine the acceleration of the second stage just after the engine is fired. What is the rocket’s acceleration just before all the fuel is consumed? Neglect the effect of gravitation.arrow_forwardA stream of water leaves the large tank A and fills the tank B. The output diameter of tank A is d = 0.1 meters. Tank B is a cylindrical tank whose base diameter is 1 meter.
