Water enters the horizontal, circular cross-sectional, sudden contraction nozzle sketched in Fig. P12.18 at section
(1) with a velocity of 25 ft/s and a pressure of 75 psi. The water exits from the nozzle into the atmosphere at section
(2) where the velocity is 100 ft/s. Determine the axial component of the anchoring force required to hold the contraction in place.
