- When a jet of water gushing from a short pipe with a diameter of D= 5 cm, located at a depth of h= 6.6 m from the surface of a fixed level reservoir shown in the figure, hits a horizontal plate that makes an angle of 30o with the jet axis (friction effects are neglected), a)Determine the scalar value and direction of the impact force exerted by the water on the plate (Enter the numerical value of the direction you think is correct in the direction-number image in Figure 3 in the box named "Direction-effect". For example: '1' will be entered for the upward direction). b)Determine the scalar value of the reaction force of the plate and determine its direction (Enter the numerical value of the direction you think is correct in the direction-number image given in Figure 3 in the box named "Direction-reaction".

Water enters the sprinkler along the axis of rotation at a rate of 45 L/s and leaves the 1.5-cm-diameter nozzles in the tangential direction. The bearing applies a retarding torque of T0 = 40 N·m due to friction at the anticipated operating speeds. For a normal distance of 40 cm between the axis of rotation and the center of the nozzles, determine the angular velocity of the sprinkler shaft.arrow_forward
