Introduction

• The liquid which comes out in the form of a jet from the outlet of a nozzle, and it is fitted to a pipe through which the liquid flows under pressure.

• If a plate, which is fixed or moving is placed in the path of the jet, then the force is exerted by the jet on the plate directly.

• Newton's second law of motion for the impulse-momentum equation is used to obtain the force.

• Thus, we can say that the impact of jet means the force exerted by the jet on a plate which may be stationary or moving.

1) Force exerted by the jet on a stationary plate when,

• Plate is vertical to the jet

• Plate is inclined to the jet

• Plate is curved

2) Force exerted by the jet on a moving plate, when

• Plate is vertical to the jet

• Plate is inclined to the jet

• Plate is curved
