For the situation described in Prob. 6.27, find the maximum inlet velocity (V) such that the block will not slip.

Data from Prob. 6.27,

Water (ρ = 1000 kg/m³) strikes a block as shown and is deflected 30°. The flow rate of the water is 15.1 kg/s, and the inlet velocity is V = 16 m/s. The mass of the block is 1 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is 0.1 (friction force/normal force). If the force parallel to the surface exceeds the frictional force, the block will move. Determine the force on the block and whether the block will move. Neglect the weight of the water.
