A jet of water, having a velocity of 15 m/s, strikes a curved vane which is moving with a velocity of 6 m/s in the same direction as that of the jet at inlet. The vane is so shaped that the jet is deflected through 135°. The diameter of the jet is 150 mm. Assuming the vane to be smooth, find: (i) the force exerted by the jet on the vane in the direction of motion, (ii) power of the vane, and (iii) efficiency of the vane.
