Question: When the pump shown in Fig. P5.121 is stopped, there is no flow through the system and the spring force is zero. With the pump
When the pump shown in Fig. P5.121 is stopped, there is no flow through the system and the spring force is zero. With the pump running, a 6 -in.-diameter jet leaves the pipe, and the spring force is \(420 \mathrm{lb}\). The water surface elevation in the tank is constant. Determine the water flow rate and the power consumed by the pump. Assume quasi-steady flow.
