A large container is attached to a cart and held by a cable attached to a wall as shown in the figure. The container is filled with water and is open to the atmosphere. Water issues from a horizontal nozzle of cross-sectional area of 5 cm². At the same time, water is added from a vertical pipe so that the water level in the tank is maintained at H = 10 m. Determine the tension in the cable holding the tank in place.

Question

A large container is attached to a cart and held by a cable attached to a wall as shown in the figure. The container is filled with water and is open to the atmosphere. Water issues from a horizontal nozzle of cross-sectional area of 5 ??2 . At the same time, water is added from a vertical pipe so that the water level in the tank is maintained at ? = 10 ?. Determine the tension in the cable holding the tank in place.

**Problem Description:**

A large container is attached to a cart and held by a cable attached to a wall as shown in the figure. The container is filled with water and is open to the atmosphere. Water issues from a horizontal nozzle of cross-sectional area of \(5 \, \text{cm}^2\). At the same time, water is added from a vertical pipe so that the water level in the tank is maintained at \(H = 10 \, \text{m}\). Determine the tension in the cable holding the tank in place.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The diagram shows a vertical tank mounted on a cart.
- The tank is open at the top and filled with water, maintaining a constant water level at height \(H\).
- Water exits the tank horizontally from the nozzle, with a velocity \(V\).
- The cross-sectional area of the nozzle is \(5 \, \text{cm}^2\).
- The cart is positioned on a surface, using wheels for support, and is held stationary by a cable attached to a wall.

The goal is to calculate the tension in the cable, which counteracts the force exerted by the water jet leaving the nozzle.
