Chapter 7, Problem 26CQ
Suppose that on a perfectly still day, a sailboat enthusiast decides to bring along a powerful battery-operated fan in order to provide an air current for his sail, as shown in the diagram.
- a. What are the directions of the change in momentum of the air at the fan and at the sail?
- b. What are the directions of the forces acting on the fan and on the sail due to these changes in momentum?
- c. Would the sailor be better off with the sail furled (down) or unfurled (up)? Explain.
