Question 39

XE-BNAT2 marksNeeds review
Consider a lawn sprinkler with horizontal arms of radius,

cm which has water introduced vertically through the centre, as shown in the figure. The exit area of the jet is 25 cm

and the jet velocity is 1 m/s. The water is ejected orthogonal to the sprinkler arm and the jet makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal plane. Find the torque (in N-m) required to hold the sprinkler stationary. Consider water density 1000 kg/m

. Neglect the effects of friction and gravity. (Round off to two decimal places)
