As shown in Fig., a nozzle is attached to a vertical pipe. The discharge of water (ρw=1000kg/m3) is 0.10m3/s. The inside diameter of the flange is 0.16m and the gauge pressure at the flange is 200kPakPa. The inside diameter of the end of the nozzle is 0.08m and it discharges water to the free atmosphere at an angle of 30∘ from the horizontal. The mass of the nozzle in 20kg and the water volume in the nozzle is 0.015m3. (Assume, g=9.81m/s2 ). a) Draw a free-body diagram for the problem. b) Determine the vertical component of the anchoring force. c) Determine the horizontal component of the anchoring force.
a) Free-body diagram:
In the given scenario, the following forces act on the system:Weight of the nozzle (acting vertically downward)Buoyant force on the nozzle (acting vertically upward)Vertical component of the anchoring forceHorizontal component o...
