Question 38
Open questionCHMCQ2 marksNeeds review
A horizontal cylindrical water jet of diameter
cm strikes a vertical solid plate with a hole of diameter
cm, as shown in the figure. A part of the jet passes through the hole and the rest is deflected along the plate. The density of water is 100 kg m
. If the speed of the jet is 20 m s
, the magnitude of the horizontal force, in N, required to hold the plate stationary is

Consider a horizontal rod of radius
(
) in a stationary pipe of radius
. The rod is pulled coaxially at a constant velocity
as shown in the figure. The annular region is filled with a Newtonian incompressible fluid of viscosity
. The steady state fully developed axial velocity profile in the fluid is given by
, where
is the radial coordinate. Ignoring end effects, the magnitude of the pulling force per unit rod length is
