A large lawn sprinkler with two identical arms is used to generate electric power by attaching a generator to its rotating head. Water enters the sprinkler from the base along the axis of rotation at a rate of 5 gal/s and leaves the nozzles in the tangential direction. The sprinkler rotates at a rate of 180 rpm in a horizontal plane. The diameter of each jet is 0.5 in, and the normal distance between the axis of rotation and the center of each nozzle is 2 ft. If the rotating head is somehow stuck, determine the moment acting on the head.

Fire safety

Fire safety is a new domain emerged in the early 90s to enable the design of buildings, structures, and infrastructure against destruction through fire. It also includes the provisions of building codes. This field is mostly associated with the design and efficient planning of a building, to reduce the destruction caused by fire. The branch of engineering that deals with it for the safety of the buildings from destruction of fire, is known as fire safety engineering.
