Problem 2: A home is on fire, and to prevent its spread to the next house, firefighters are spraying down
the neighboring house. They reduce their flow rate so that the windows do not break, which would
damage the inside of the home. The typical window can withstand a force up to 25 Ibf, what is the largest
volumetric flow rate he should allow, given an 8-inch diameter (D1) firehose discharging through a
nozzle with 4-inch diameter (d2) outlet. The free jet from the nozzle is deflected by 90° when it hits the
window as shown.
