Answer:
The net force is 300.8 N
Explanation:
∆H = Cp(T1 – T2) = 1/2(V2^2 – V1^2)
Cp is the heat capacity of air at constant pressure = 1005 J/kg
T1 is initial temperature of air = 500 K
T2 is the exit temperature of air = 440 K
V1 is the initial velocity of air = 50 m/s
V2 is the exit velocity of air
1005(500 – 440) = 1/2(V2^2 – 50^2)
60,300×2 = V2^2 – 2,500
V2^2 = 120,600 + 2,500 = 123,100
V2 = sqrt(123,100) = 350.8 m/s
Net force (F) = mass flow rate × change in velocity = 1 kg/s × (350.8 – 50)m/s = 1 kg/s × 300.8 m/s = 300.8 kgm/s^2 = 300.8 N
