 Question #1
Consider a water jet falling from a height $H=20$ m onto a blade as follows:
Noting that the blade is moving downwards with the speed $q_{\rm blade}=10~$m/s, do the following:
 (a) Find the $x,~y,~z$ velocity components of the reflected water in the ground frame. (b) Find the force acting on the blade in the $z$ direction due to the water reflection.
You can assume that the pressure of the water far from the blade is equal to atmospheric pressure. Use $\theta=25^\circ$, $\phi=38^\circ$, $\dot{m}=10$ kg/s, $q_{\rm w}=30$ m/s, and $\rho_{\rm w}=1000$ kg/m$^3$. Outline clearly your assumptions.

 Question #2
Consider a tank filled with liquid water and air as follows:
Knowing that $q_1=20$ m/s, $W_1=2$ cm, $W_2=3$ cm, $W_3=10$ cm, $H_1=3$ cm, $H_2=4$ cm, $\rho_{\rm air}=1$ kg/m$^3$, $\rho_{\rm water}=1000$ kg/m$^3$, do the following:
 (a) Derive a control volume form of the mass conservation equation that is applicable to either the volume $V_1$ or $V_2$. Note that, at the air/water interface, the surfaces $S_1$ and $S_2$ are moving. (b) Find $q_2$ by applying the expression derived in (a) to the volume $V_1$ and then to the volume $V_2$.
