A freshwater jet boat takes in water through side vents and ejects it through a nozzle of diameter D = 75 mm; the jet speed is Vj. The drag on the boat is given by Fdrag =kV2, where V is the boat speed. Find an expression for the steady speed, V, in terms of water density rho, flow rate through the system of Q, constant k, and jet speed Vj. A jet speed Vj = 15 m=s produces a boat speed of V = 10 m=s. (a) Under these conditions, what is the new flow rate Q? (b) Find the value of the constant k. (c) What speed V will be produced if the jet speed is increased to Vj = 25 m=s? (d) What will be the new flow rate?

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
