Back to Problem | Go to Answer

Apply the horizontal component of the momentum theorem to a 2D control volume near the edge of the craft. For example, use a CV with its left side where the letter h is in Fig. 2, its right side about the same distance outside the craft, its top just below the craft's bottom, and its bottom just above ground level. Neglect shear forces.
