A group of friends regularly enjoys white-water rafting and they bring piston water guns to shoot water from one raft to another. One summer they notice that when on a placid part of the river without current they are drifting apart after a few volleys at each other. They wonder if the jet being ejected out of the piston gun has enough momentum to force the shooter and raft backward. Calculate the momentum flux in units of newtons generated by the ejected water with a flow rate of 3 gal/s from a cross sectional diameter of 1.7 in.
