Question: A cart moves on a frictionless surface with an initial velocity of U 0 ( to the right ) and a mass of M 0

A cart moves on a frictionless surface with an initial velocity of U0(to the right) and a mass of M0(without any fluid). Into the cart, fluid flows from both sides by horizontal jets with a uniform velocity of V and surface area A. All velocities given above are in respect to a constant coordinate system.
a) Derive the equation of motion of the cart.
b) Find an explicit solution for the cart's velocity as a function of time.
c) An internal pump is added to the cart and sucks fluid from the cart through a hole, located at the right side, with the surface area of S and fluid velocity of ve in respect to the cart. For simplicity, assume veSVA(do not neglect Sve2).
