Question
A 2-kg disk is constrained horizontally but is free to move vertically. The disk is struck from below by a vertical jet of water. The speed and diameter of the water jet are 10 m/s and 25 mm at the nozzle exit. Obtain a general expression for the speed of the water jet as a function of height, h. Find the height to which the disk will rise and remain stationary

Answer:
h = 4.281 m
Explanation
Given Data,
Weight of disk = 2kg
Speed of water jet (V) = 10 m/s
diameter of water jet = 25 mm
Cal. the velocity of the water jet as function height by applying Bernoulli’s eqtn of water surface to the jet
Relation between
& V
Momentum
Solving for h
g is gravitational acc.
h = 4.281 m
h of disk on which it remains stationary.
