Follow-up Question
A nozzle is attached to the end of a 3-in. diameter water pipe. A jet of water with a diameter
of 1.5-in. discharges into the open atmosphere. The pressure in the pipe is P1 = 60 psig and
the rate of discharge of 60o
F water at steady-state is Q = 400 gal/min. Calculate the
magnitude and direction of the force necessary to hold the nozzle to the pipe.
