A horizontal 5-cm-diameter water jet with a velocity of 18 m/s impinges normally upon a vertical plate of mass 1460 kg. The plate rides on a nearly frictionless track and is initially stationary. When the jet strikes the plate, the plate begins to move in the direction of the jet. The water always splatters in the plane of the retreating plate. For simplicity, assume the velocity of the jet is increased as the cart moves such that the impulse force exerted by the water jet on the plate remains constant. Take the density of water as 1000 kg/m3. Determine
(a) the acceleration of the plate when the jet first strikes it (time = 0),
(b) the time it will take for the plate to reach a velocity of 9 m/s, and
(c) the plate velocity 20 s after the jet first strikes the plate. Assume the velocity of the jet relative to the plate remains constant.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
