A jet of water with cross section of $6{ cm }^{ 2 }$ strikes a wall at an angle of ${ 60 }^{ \circ  }$ to the normal and rebounds elastically from the wall without losing energy. If the velocity of the water in the jet is $12 m/s$, the force acting on the wall is

  1. $0.864N$

  2. $86.4N$

  3. $72N$

  4. $7.2N$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
F = $\dfrac{dP}{dt}$
   = $\dfrac{2 dm V\cos 60^o}{dt}$
   = $\dfrac{2 (\rho A dx) V\cos 60^o}{dt}$
   = $2 \rho A {V}^2\cos 60^o$
   = ${10}^3\times 6\times {10}^{-4} \times{12}^2$
   =$86.4N$

  2. $2 \times {10^5}J/{m^3}$

  3. $0.75 \times {10^5}J/{m^3}$

  4. $2.5 \times {10^5}J/{m^3}$


Correct Option: B
