Transcribed Image Text:**Text Transcription:**
5.24 Water enters the horizontal, circular cross-sectional, sudden-contraction nozzle sketched in Fig. P5.24 at section (1) with a uniformly distributed velocity of 25 ft/s and a pressure of 75 psi. The water exits from the nozzle into the atmosphere at section (2) where the uniformly distributed velocity is 100 ft/s. Determine the axial component of the anchoring force required to hold the contraction in place.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram illustrates a nozzle with a sudden contraction in its cross-section.
- At Section (1), the diameter (D1) is 3 inches. Here, the water velocity (V1) is 25 ft/s, and the pressure (P1) is 75 psi.
- At Section (2), the water exits into the atmosphere. The velocity (V2) at this section is 100 ft/s, and the pressure (P2) is 0 psi.
- There's an indication of the flow direction via an arrow pointing from left to right.
- The labeled sections and values detail the changes in speed and pressure as the water moves through the nozzle.
