$A$ stream of water flowing horizontally with a speed of $15\; m s^{-1}$ gushes out of a tube of cross-sectional area $10^{-2}\; m^2$,and hits a vertical wall nearby. What is the force in $N$ exerted on the wall by the impact of water,assuming it does not rebound?

$A$ tube of length $L = 1 \ m$ is filled completely with an ideal liquid of mass $M_{total} = 2M$,and closed at both ends. The tube is rotated uniformly in a horizontal plane about one of its ends. If the force exerted by the liquid at the other end is $F$,then the angular velocity of the tube is $\sqrt{\frac{F}{\alpha M}}$ in $SI$ units. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ jet of water with a cross-section of $6 \ cm^2$ strikes a wall at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the normal and rebounds elastically from the wall without losing energy. If the velocity of the water in the jet is $12 \ m/s$,the force acting on the wall is ....... $N$.
