Solve problems 3,4, and 5.
The hydraulic dredge shown below is used to dredge sand from a river bottom. Estimate the thrust needed from the propeller to hold the boat stationary. Assume the specific gravity of the sand/water mixture is SG=1.4.
A horizontal, circular cross-sectional jet of air having a diameter of 6 in strikes a conical deflector, as shorn below. A horizontal anchoring force of 5 lb is required to hold the cone in place. Estimate the nozzle flowrate in ft3s. The magnitude of the velocity of the air and the density of the air remains constant (see Table 1.7 for density of air).
The plate shown below is 0.5 m wide (into the paper). Calculate the velocity of the water jet required to hold the plate upright. Hint: Return of Module 2!
