Water at 20°C flows through a 300-mm-diameter pipe that discharges into the atmo-
sphere as shown in Figure 4.61. When a partially open valve extends 200 mm from
the top of the pipe, the flow rate in the pipe is 0.2 m/s and the (gauge) pressure just
upstream of the valve is 600 kPa. Estimate the force exerted by the water on the
partially open valve.
