A boat is driven at constant velocity c (relative to the undisturbed water) by a jet-propulsion unit which takes in water at the bow and pumps it astern, beneath the water surface, at velocity u relative to the boat. Show that the efficiency of the propulsion, if friction and other losses are neglected, is 2c/(c + u).
Such a boat moves steadily up a wide river at 8 m ·s−1 (relative to the land). The river flows at 1.3 m ·s−1. The resistance to motion of the boat is 1500 N. If the velocity of the jet relative to the boat is 17.5 m ·s−1, and the overall efficiency of the pump is 65%, determine the total area of the outlet nozzles, and the engine power required.
