A nozzle is attached to a vertical pipe and discharges water into the atmosphere as shown in the figure. When the discharge is 0.1m^3/sec, the gage pressure at the flange is 40kPa.
a) Determine the vertical component of the anchoring force (in N) required to hold the nozzle in place. The nozzle has a weight of 172 N and the volume of water in the nozzle is 0.013m^3. (Assume the density of water is 10000kg/m^3 and g=9.8m/sec^2.)
b) Is the anchoring force directed upwards or downwards?
