Answer:
Average force exerted by the water on the blades is 1024 N
Explanation:
As we know that the force due to water jet is given by
[tex]F = (v_{in} - v_{out})\frac{dm}{dt}[/tex]
here we know that
[tex]v_{in} = 16 m/s[/tex]
[tex]v_{out} = -16 m/s[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dm}{dt} = 32 kg/s[/tex]
so here we will have
[tex]F = (16 + 16)(32)[/tex]
[tex]F = 1024 N[/tex]
Average force exerted by the water on the blades is 1024 N
