1. What is Force Exerted by Stationary Plate on Jet?

The force exerted by a stationary plate on a jet perpendicular to the plate is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ F_{St,\perp p} = \frac{\gamma_f \cdot A_{Jet} \cdot (v_{jet})^2}{[g]} \]

Where:

\( F_{St,\perp p} \) — Force by Stationary Plate on Jet ⊥ Plate (N)
\( \gamma_f \) — Specific Weight of Liquid (kN/m³)
\( A_{Jet} \) — Cross Sectional Area of Jet (m²)
\( v_{jet} \) — Fluid Jet Velocity (m/s)
\( [g] \) — Gravitational acceleration constant (9.80665 m/s²)

Explanation: This formula calculates the force exerted by a stationary plate on a fluid jet perpendicular to the plate surface, accounting for the specific weight of the liquid, cross-sectional area of the jet, and fluid velocity.

3. Importance of Force Calculation

Details: Accurate force calculation is crucial for designing hydraulic systems, understanding fluid dynamics, and ensuring structural integrity in engineering applications involving fluid jets.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter specific weight of liquid in kN/m³, cross-sectional area of jet in m², and fluid jet velocity in m/s. All values must be positive and valid.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is specific weight of liquid?
A: Specific weight refers to the weight per unit volume of that substance, typically measured in kN/m³.

Q2: How is cross-sectional area of jet determined?
A: Cross-sectional area is the area of a two-dimensional shape obtained when a three-dimensional jet is sliced perpendicular to its axis.

Q3: What factors affect fluid jet velocity?
A: Jet velocity depends on pressure, nozzle design, and fluid properties such as density and viscosity.

Q4: Why is gravitational acceleration included?
A: The gravitational constant [g] is used to convert between mass and weight units in the force calculation.

Q5: What are typical applications of this calculation?
A: This calculation is used in hydraulic engineering, turbine design, spray systems, and fluid power applications.
