The force experienced by the wall on which water strikes normally at the rate of 10ms-1 and discharge of 0.0001ms-1 is
Correct answer: A. 1N
- A. 1N
- B. 10N
- C. 100N
- D. None
Explanation
Given:- Velocity of water (v) = 10 m/s- Discharge rate (Q) = 0.0001 m³/sCalculating Momentum:Momentum (p) is given by the formula: Momentum = mass × velocityThe mass of water per second is calculated using the discharge rate (Q) and density of water (ρ):Mass = ρ × QGiven that the density of water (ρ) is approximately 1000 kg/m³:Mass = 1000 × 0.0001 = 0.1 kgMomentum = Mass × Velocity = 0.1 × 10 = 1 kg m/sCalculating Force:The force experienced by the wall is equal to the rate of change of momentum.Force = Rate of change of momentum = MomentumForce = 1 NThe calculated force experienced by the wall due to the water striking it is 1 N, as derived from the rate of change of momentum.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
