This document discusses computing the (a) force and (b) power required to restrain a cart that a jet strikes with a vane moving at constant velocity. It finds that (c) the maximum force occurs when the cart velocity is 0, and (d) the maximum power occurs when the jet velocity equals the cart velocity and they are perpendicular. Equations are provided and solved to calculate these values.

Ex) A jet strikes a vane which moves to the right at constant velocity VC on a

frictionless cart. Compute (a) the force required Fx to restrain the cart and (b) the
power P delivered to the cart. Also find the cart velocity along X direction for
which (c) the force Fx is a maximum and (d) the power P is a maximum.

Solution:

Assume relative inertial coordinates with non-deforming CV i.e. CV moves at


constant translational non-accelerating:

then VR=V-VCS.

Assume steady flow, density ρ is constant, and neglect the effect of gravity.

Substituting in Eq. 1 gives,

Power = Velocity × Force

Fx is maximum for VC =0.
