ASSIGNMENT (CHAPTER MOMENTUM)- DR SUNARTI

Q1

Water is flowing through a 20 cm diameter pipe that consists of a 7 m long vertical with a 90 o
elbow and forces the water to be discharged through double pipe with a 15 cm diameter, as shown
in Figure 3. Water discharges at point 3 at a velocity of 9 m/s and pressure 500 kPa. Determine the
moment acting at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal section of the pipe. The weight of
the elbow material and the friction effects are disregard.

Q2

A retro-rocket is used to decelerate a rocket ship in space. The rocket is moving at 8000 m/s (with
respect to the Earth’s surface) and has a mass of 1000 kg. The burn rate of the retro-rocket is 8
kg/s, and the exhaust velocity with respect to the rocket nozzle is 2000 m/s. After the retro-rocket
has fired, the velocity should be 7500 m/s. Assume the exit pressure of the rocket is equal to the
ambient pressure and the drag forces on the rocket are negligible. The rocket is moving in a
direction perpendicular to the gravity force. Determine,
a) The time taken for retro-rocket be fired.
b) The final mass of the rocket

Q3

Water flows at a rate of 12720 L/min, through a pipe that branches out into three pipes as shown
in Figure 4. The velocity at point four is 3.85 m/s. Calculate the net force and the direction in
which it acts. Neglect energy losses in the pipe.

Q4

Two water streams merge (ρ = 1000 kg/m3) to form a larger stream as shown in Figure 4. At stream
3, the non-uniform velocity is formed before the two streams completely merge. The fluid flows at
streams 1 and 2 at 40 kg/s and 1.6 m/s, respectively. By neglecting the energy losses in the stream,

a) determine the value of V

b) Calculate the resultant force, Fr and the direction in which it acts.
