About This Product
A plate placed in the path of a liquid jet experiences a force, which can be calculated from the impulse-momentum equation based on Newton's second law of motion. On this unit the vane plate moves under the jet and under the weight placed on the hanger, so students can set what they calculate beside what they see. Flat, curved and angle plates are provided, allowing the test to be repeated on different vane shapes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which plates come with the Impact of Jet Apparatus?
A flat plate, a curved plate and angle plates, all made of mild steel with chrome plating.
How is the force of the jet worked out?
The force on a plate in the path of the jet can be calculated from the impulse-momentum equation, which is based on Newton's Second Law of Motion. Flow for the calculation is measured with the measuring tank and stop watch.
