9. (5 points) Consider the tank that is filling in the figure below. The input flow is steady, The tank is not moving. The rate of change of the x-component of momentum in the tank is: updk ar cs (c) 0 d) Everywhere in the tank the x-component of momentum is zero, therefore, the rate of change of the x-component of momentum is zero. e) None of the above

Solution

Answer is C. Zero

Explaination: The flow of fluid in the tank is steady .

The tank is also stationary so fluid inside the tank is stationary.

So velocity of fluid is zero.

So change in velocity is zero.

Momentum is product of mass and velocity.

So momentum is zero.

So change in momentum is also zero

So change in x component of momentum is zero
