At the end of a water fountain, a nozzle directs water out from a vertically-oriented pipe to the person drinking from it. When the volumetric flowrate is 0.13 m3/s, the gauge pressure where the nozzle to the pipe is 32 kPa. The nozzle of the water fountain weighs 225 N and holds 0.012 m3 of water. The area at the intersection of the nozzle and pipe (A) is 0.02 m2 while the area at the nozzle opening to the atmosphere (B) is 0.016 m2. What is the vertical component of the force securing the nozzle to the pipe in Newtons?
