A horizontal 5-cm diameter water jet with a velocity of 18 m/s impinges normally upon a vertical plate of mass 1000 kg. The plate rides on a nearly frictionless track and is initially stationary. When the jet strikes the place, the plate begins to move in the direction of the jet. The water always splatters in the place of the retreating plate. Determine (a) the acceleration of the plate when the jet first strikes in (time = 0), (b) the time it takes for the plate to reach a velocity of 9 m/s, and (c) the plate velocity 20 s after the jet first strikes the plate. For simplicity, assume the velocity of the jet is increased as the cart moves such that the impulse force exerted by the water jet on the plate remains constant

Calculate the magnetic moment of the loop : A current of 14.0 mA is maintained in a single circular loop of 3.80 m circumference. A magnetic field of 0.610 T is directed parallel to the plane of the loop. (a) Calculate the magnetic moment of the loop. Please have answer in mA · m2

The rectangle and the circuit containing the long wire : Consider again the long wire near a small wire rectangle. The long wire is part of a circuit. The circuit is small enough that all the approximations we've used in class are good, but the wire near the rectangle is much longer than the rectangle. ..

How long will it take to assume the original course again : Ship moving initially at 10.7 m/s due North, drifts due NE at the same speed. To correct the bearing, the captain accelerates the engine and turns the rudder NW. If the engines deliver a constant acceleration of 4.4 m/s2, how long will it take to a..

Determine the water velocity at inlet and outlet : A 90° elbow is used to direct water (? = 1000 kg/m3) flow at a rate of 25 kg/s in a horizontal pipe upward. The di-ameter of the entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local ..
