    A jet of water with area of cross-section 3 \[\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\] strikes a wall at an angle \[\theta =\text{6}0{}^\circ \] to the normal and rebounds elastically from the wall with the same speed. If the speed of water in the jet is 12 m/s, then the force acting on the wall is

    A)  \[\text{4}.\text{31}\times \text{1}{{0}^{-1}}\text{ N}\]

    B)  \[\text{4}.\text{32}\times \text{1}{{0}^{-2}}\text{ N}\]

    C)  \[\text{4}.\text{32}\times \text{1}{{0}^{-3}}\text{ N}\]                

    D)  43.2 N

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     From Newtons second law Rate of change of momentum is equal to force \[\therefore \]  \[F=\frac{dp}{dt}\]                          ... (i) where   p = mv                                  ... (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[F=\frac{mv\,\cos \theta -(-mv\,\cos \theta )}{\Delta t}\] \[\therefore \]  \[F=\frac{2\,mv\,\cos \theta }{\Delta t}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[F=2\,A\,v\,\rho \,v\,\cos \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[F=2\,A\,\rho \,{{v}^{2}}\times \frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[F=A\,\rho \,{{v}^{2}}\]                 Given,   \[A=3\,c{{m}^{2}}=3\times {{({{10}^{-2}})}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}\],                 \[\rho ={{10}^{3}}kg/{{m}^{3}}\],                 \[v=12\,m/s\] \[\therefore \]  \[F=3\times {{10}^{-4}}\times {{10}^{3}}\times {{(12)}^{2}}\]                 = 43.2 N
