Calculate the horizontal reaction force on the stop sign


Water from the nozzle of a fire hose strikes a flat a stop sign as shown in Figure P7.16. Water exits the nozzle at a velocity of 45 ft/s through a circular exit port of diameter 5 in.

(a) Calculate the horizontal reaction force on the stop sign support.

(b) What, if anything, can you conclude about the fluid flow characteristics in the vertical direction for this situation?
