A launch vehicle has 6 engines operating in parallel which are fed from the same propellant tank. Initially, each engine has an equivalent exhaust velocity of 3500 m/s and consumes 400 kilograms of propellant per second. One of the engines malfunctions and consequently operates at 50% thrust and 120% propellant consumption. Calculate the equivalent exhaust velocity in m/s of all engines if treated as a single engine, including the malfunctioning engine in your calculation.

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 from rearward to 120°. 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.

Water accelerated by a nozzle to 33 m/s strikes the vertical back surface of a cart moving horizontally at a constant velocity of 9 m/s in the flow direction. The mass flow rate of water through the stationary nozzle is 30 kg/s. After the strike, the water stream splatters off in all directions in the plane of the back surface. Determine the force that needs to be applied by the brakes of the cart to prevent it from accelerating. If this force were used to generate power instead of wasting it on the brakes, determine the maximum amount of power that could ideally be generated.
