Find required velocity of air jet to tip carton off conveyor


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.
