Question

A part of an inspection system in a packaging operation uses a jet of air to remove imperfect cartons from a conveyor line (dimensions include: 30mm wide and the base to the arm: 75mm---hope that makes sense). The jet is initiated by a sensor and timed so that the product to be rejected is in front of the jet at the right moment. The product is to be tipped over a ledge on the side of the conveyor.

Compute the required velocity of the air jet to tip the carton off the conveyor.

The density of the air is 1.20 kg/m^3. The carton has a mass of 0.10kg. The jet has a diameter of 10.0mm.

Explanation / Answer

v=45.6 m/s
