A part of an inspection system in a packaging operation uses a jet of air to remove imperfect cartons from a conveyor line, as shown in Fig. 16.19. The jet is initiated by a sensor and timed so that the product to be rejected is in front of the jet at the right moment. The product is to be tipped over a ledge on the side of the conveyor as shown in the figure. Compute the required velocity of the air jet to tip the carton off the conveyor. The density of the air is 1.20 kg/m³. The carton has a mass of 0.10 kg. The jet has a diameter of 10.0 mm.
