Question:

A 4 in. ID fire hose discharges water at a rate of $1500 \mathrm{gpm}$ through a nozzle that has a $2 \mathrm{in}$. ID exit. The nozzle is conical and converges through a total included angle of $30^{\circ}$. What is the total force transmitted to the bolts in the flange where the nozzle is attached to the hose? Assume the loss coefficient in the nozzle is 3.0 based on the velocity in the hose.
