A fountain consists of a horizontal inlet pipe with a cross-sectional area, A1, which enters a block and emitted upwards through a nozzle with a cross-sectional area, A2, as shown in figure Q5. The flow at the outlet is inclined at an angle e to the horizontal. The flow rate through each of the inlet pipes is Q. You may ignore any changes in height or viscous effects. a) Find the horizontal component of the velocity of the water leaving the nozzle in terms of Q b) Find the vertical force acting on the block in terms of Q. c) Find the horizontal force acting on the block in terms of Q.

A fountain consists of a horizontal inlet pipe with a cross-sectional area, A1, which enters a
block and emitted upwards through a nozzle with a cross-sectional area, A2, as shown in
figure Q5. The flow at the outlet is inclined at an angle 0 to the horizontal. The flow rate
through each of the inlet pipes is Q. You may ignore any changes in height or viscous
effects.
