Correct Answer: velocity of flow at inlet to the theoretical jet velocity
3. The efficiency of jet propulsion for a ship with inlet orifices at right angles to the direction of motion of ship, will be maximum when the relative velocity of the jet and ship is equal to twice the velocity of the ship.
10. The force exerted (in newton) by a jetof water impinging normally on a fixed plate is (where w = Specific weight of water in N/m3, a = Cross-sectional area of jet in m2, and V = Velocity of jet in m/s)
