The force exerted on a vane due to a jet of water is only a function of the mass flowrate and independent of the jet velocity. a)- true b)-false

b) false

Explanation:

We know that rate of change of  momentum is called force.

So

Force = rate of change of momentum

We know that

P = m v

So

 (take velocity in constant and not changing with time)

So

So force exerted by jet depends on mass flow rate and velocity also.So our option b is right.

do you have any options?
