Question 22 / 40:  Consider a garden hose (3/4 inch internal diameter) through which water is flowing at a rate of 1 gallon/minute. At the end of the hose is a 1/8" diameter nozzle. Which of the following most closely matches the magnitude of the rate of change in momentum of the water through the nozzle?
A  0.5 N
B  9 N
C  8.5 N
D  9.5 N
<< First < Previous Flashcard Next > Last >>
Explanation:

Calculate the velocities by assuming incompressible flow and conservation of mass. v1 =0.22 m/s; v2 = 7.95 m/s. Mass flow rate = 6.3 x10-2 kg/s. Rate of change in momentum = 6.3 x10-2 kg/s x 7.7 m/s = 0.5 N. As you might imagine, such calculations are interesting for some firefighting applications.
