Water enters the horizontal, circular crosssectional, sudden contraction nozzle sketched in the figure below at section (1) with a uniformly \( V_{1} \) of \( 16 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s} \) and a pressure \( P_{1} \) of 64 psi. The water exits from the nozzle into the atmosphere at section (2) where the uniformly distributed velocity \( V_{2} \) is \( 64 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s} \). Determine the magnitude of the axial component of the anchoring force required to hold the contraction in place. Assume \( P_{2}=0 \) psi, \( D_{1}=3 \) in.
