Chapter 4, Problem 123P
A “home-made” solid propellant rocket has an initial mass of 9 kg; 6.8 kg of this is fuel. The rocket is directed vertically upward from rest, burns fuel at a constant rate of 0.225 kg/s, and ejects exhaust gas at a speed of 1980 m/s relative to the rocket. Assume that the pressure at the exit is atmospheric and that air resistance may be neglected. Calculate the rocket speed after 20 s and the distance traveled by the rocket in 20 s. Plot the rocket speed and the distance traveled as functions of time.

The water (density =1000 kg/m3) leaves the nozzle (area of the nozzle=0.01 m). Assuming steady,
incompressible, and neglect the weight of jet and the plate, change in elevation is also neglected. Determine
the horizontal reaction force (N) on the support. Note that the stagnation tube has a fluid of specific gravity
S=8.9 and the deflection of the fluid in stagnation tube is 50 cm.

A liquid of density p is filled in a vessel of cross-
sectional area A. The vessel has a hole of cross-sec-
tional area a at a depth h below the free surface of the
liquid. When the hole is unplugged, the liquid comes
out of the hole with a velocity v. The volume of liquid
coming out of the hole per second is Q. The reaction

A jet of water with a diameter of 100 mm flows vertically until it meets a solid vane that deflected it at an angle of 180°. The initial velocity of the jet is 20 m/s. As a result of friction, the velocity of the jet leaving the vane is 15 m/s. Assuming the fluid is at atmospheric pressure throughout and neglecting the gravity effects, calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the water on the vane. (water density 1000 kg/m3)
