A horizontal, circular cross-sectional jet of air having a diameter of 4 in. strikes a conical deflector as shown in the figure below. A horizontal anchoring force \( \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{A}} \) of \( 3 \mathrm{lb} \) is required to hold the cone in place. Estimate the nozzle flowrate in \( \mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{s} \). The magnitude of the velocity of the air remains constant. Assume \( D_{1}=4 \) in.
