A water jet of 100 mm diameter issuing out of a nozzle at a speed of 50 m/s strikes a vane and flows along it as shown in figure. The vane is attached to a cart which is moving at a constant speed of 20 m/s on a frictionless track. The jet is deflected at an angle of 30°. Take the density of water as 1000 kg/m
. Neglecting the friction between the vane and the fluid, the magnitude of the force exerted by water on the cart in the x-direction, in N, is _____.

Capillary waves are generated in the sea. The speed of propagation (C) of these waves is known to be a function of density (ρ), wave length (λ), and surface tension (σ). Assume, ρ and λ to be constant. If the surface tension is doubled, in the functional form of the relevant non-dimensional group, the percentage increase in propagation speed (C) is ______ .
