The propulsive force (thrust) developed to propel the jet ski shown in Fig. P12.10 is a result of water pumped through the vehicle and exiting as a high-speed water jet. For the conditions shown in the figure, what volumetric flow rate is needed to produce a 300 lbf thrust? Assume the inlet and outlet jets of water are free jets at atmospheric pressure (0 gage).
