Question: This nozzle bends the flow from vertically upward to 30 with the horizontal and discharges water ( = 62.4 lbf/ft 3 ) at a speed

This nozzle bends the flow from vertically upward to 30° with the horizontal and discharges water (γ = 62.4 lbf/ft 3) at a speed of V = 130 ft/s. The volume within the nozzle itself is 1.8 ft3, and the weight of the nozzle is 100 lbf. For these conditions, what vertical force must be applied to the nozzle at the flange to hold it in place?Vertical 30 A = 0.50 ft? 2 ft Volume = 1.8 ft

Vertical 30 A = 0.50 ft? 2 ft Volume = 1.8 ft Flange A = 1.0 fr?
