One of the traditional types of simple machines is an inclined plane. Like the pulley and lever‚ the inclined plane provides a means of raising a heavy load easily. It is mainly useful for loading barrels since they can be rolled up the incline plane. The inclined plane was one of the machines available in ancient times. For example- the early Egyptians used inclined planes in the construction of the pyramids. Today many inclined planes are used in sports and recreation like water skiing and slides

C IMPACT OF JET EXPERIMENT 1 Aim To find the impact force caused by a fluid jet on a horizontal plate and a hemispherical shell and compare it with the expected theoretical force. 2 Theory When a rubber ball strikes a solid surface it nicely rebounds from the solid surface. The amount of rebound would depend on the coefficient of restitution. However‚ when a steady fluid jet strikes a solid surface‚ it does not rebound. But‚ a stream of fluid is formed which moves over the surface and the fluid
Premium Fluid dynamics Fluid mechanics
A jet engine‚ like a rocket engine‚ is a reaction engine. It works by throwing mass in one direction and taking advantage of the reaction in the opposite direction. In the case of a jet engine‚ the engine burns fuel (like kerosene) with air from the atmosphere. The burning fuel heats and expands the air‚ and this hot air shoots out of the exhaust-end of the engine to create thrust. Most modern jet engines use a turbine to improve the efficiency of the engine and allow the engine to work at low speeds

They form because of temperature variations between the poles and equator. There are two occurrences that results in the Jet Streams.

I got up to wash up telling my mom that I would be ok. As I opened the door to my room I could smell something burning‚ and
