A horizontal axisymmetric jet of air with 0.4-in.-diameter strikes a stationary vertical disk of (7.5 mathrm{in}). diameter.

Question:

A horizontal axisymmetric jet of air with 0.4-in.-diameter strikes a stationary vertical disk of \(7.5 \mathrm{in}\). diameter. The jet speed is \(225 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\) at the nozzle exit. A manometer is connected to the center of the disk. Calculate

(a) the deflection, if the manometer liquid has \(\mathrm{SG}=1.75\),

(b) the force exerted by the jet on the disk, and

(c) the force exerted on the disk if it is assumed that the stagnation pressure acts on the entire forward surface of the disk. Sketch the streamline pattern and plot the distribution of pressure on the face of the disk.
