Q. Jet propulsion works on the principle of
  • (A) newton’s first law
  • (B) newton’s second law
  • (C) newton’s third law
  • (D) thermodynamic properties
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) newton’s third law

Q. The relative velocity is obtained by the equation
  • (A) u – v1
  • (B) v1
  • (C) u*v1
  • (D) u/v1
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) u – v1

Explanation: the relative velocity of the jet is denoted as vr1. it is the relative velocity at the inlet to the vane. relative velocity of inlet to the vane is obtained by subtracting vectorially the velocity of the vane with its absolute velocity.
