Solve for question 8 (4 parts) Lab data Employing the linear momentum

equation for a fluid control volume, the force exerted on each bucket

is given by: F=Q(VjetVbucket)(1cos) [Eq. 1] where F= force exerted on thebucket = density of the fluid Q= volume flow rate of fluid

Lab data

Vjet=ujeti^= velocity of the fluid jet Vbucket=ubucketi^=0.5DT= bucket linear speed, also tangential

wheel speed = blade angle of the buckets =2N/60= angular velocity of
