Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 10CP
Two firefighters are fighting a fire with identical water hoses and nozzles, except that one is holding the hose straight so that the water leaves the nozzle in the same direction it comes, while the other holds it backward so that the water makes a U-turn before being discharged. Which firefighter will experience a greater reaction force?

A reducing elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to deflect water flow by an angle ? = 45° from the flow direction while accelerating it. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere. The cross- sectional area of the elbow is 150 cm2 at the inlet and 25 cm2 at the exit. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet is 40 cm. The mass of the elbow and the water in it is 50 kg. Determine the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place. Take the momentumflux correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and outlet.
A 3"-diameter jet has a velocity of 110 fps. It strikes a blade moving in the same direction at 70 fps. The deflection angle is 150°. Assuming no friction, determine the final absolute velocity of the water V2 as it leaves the blade.
Show that the force exerted by a liquid jet on a stationary nozzle as it leaves with a velocity V is proportional to V2 or, alternatively, to m.2. Assume the jet stream is perpendicular to the incoming liquid flow line.
