The linear momentum
Important notes on liner momentum equations
The forces involved in Eqs 13 and 14 are body and surface
force.
The only body force considered is one associated with gravity
It is directional; it can have components in x,y,z coordinate
directions
The sign (+ or -) of momentum depend on the sign
of velocity and the Vn product
Force is + if the force is in the assigned positive
coordinate direction and - otherwise
Only external forces acting on the contents of the
control volume are considered in the linear
momentum equation
The linear momentum
Example of applications
Calculate anchoring force Calculate weight of a
suspended object
The linear momentum
Example 4
Water enters the horizontal circular cross-sectional sudden
contraction nozzle, as illustrated in the figure, at section (1)
with a uniformly distributed velocity of 7.5 m/s and pressure
500 kPa. The water exits from the nozzle into the atmosphere
at section (2) where the uniformly distributed velocity is 30
m/s.
