Name: ________________ ME3560. Fluid Mechanics TEST No. 2 1.

. A steady jet of water is used to propel a small cart along a horizontal track as shown. Total resistance to motion of the cart assembly is given by FD = kU2, where k = 0.92 Ns2/m2. Determine the acceleration of the cart at the instant when its speed is U = 10 m/s. (30 pts.)
