Water enters a centrifugal pump axially at atmospheric pressure at a rate of 0.09 m³/s and at a velocity of 5 m/s, and leaves in the normal direction along the pump casing, as shown in Fig. P13??43. Determine the force acting on the shaft (which is also the force acting on the bearing of the shaft) in the axial direction.
