Question:

Figure 16.22 shows a device for clearing debris using a 1½-in-diameter jet of air issuing from a blower nozzle. As shown, the jet is striking a rectangular box-shaped object sitting on a floor. If the air velocity is 25 ft/s and the entire jet is deflected by the box, what is the heaviest object that could be moved? Assume that the box slides rather than tumbling over and that the coefficient of friction is 0.60. The air has a density of 2.40 × 10-3slugs/ft3.

- Air jet
