Question -

Water jet issues water from a nozzle of 2 `cm^2` cross-section with velocity  30 cm/s and strikes a plane surface placed at right angles to the jet . The force exerted on the plane is .

Options:
A .  200 dyne
B .  400 dyne
C .  1800 dyne
D .  none of these
Answer: Option C

`because`    `F = (Delta P)/(Delta t) = v  (Delta m)/(Delta t)`

                          = `pAv  (Delta x)/(Delta t)`

                         = `pAv  ((v Delta t)/(Delta t))` =  1 x 2 x `(30)^2`

                         = 1800 dyne.
