21lb(m)/(sec)

.\ Determine the value of the restraining force

F_(x)

. Assume the exhaust flow is essentially horizontal.

7) The rocket shown below is held stationary by the horizontal force, Fx, and the vertical force, Fy. The velocity and pressure of the exhaust gas are 5000ft/sec and 20 psia at the nozzle exit, which has a cross sectional area of 60in2. The exhaust mass flowrate is constant at 21lbm/sec. Determine the value of the restraining force Fx. Assume the exhaust flow is essentially horizontal
