Chapter 6 Problem 6.76

Question

Firehoses can break windows. A 0.2-m diameter (D1) firehose is attached to a nozzle with a 0.1 m diameter (d2) outlet. The free jet from the nozzle is deflected by 90 when it hits the window as shown. Find the force the window must withstand due to the impact of the jet when water flows through the firehose at a rate of 0.15 m3 /s.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 6 problem number 76 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Firehoses can break windows. A 0.2-m diameter (D1) firehose is attached to a nozzle with a 0.1 m diameter (d2) outlet. The free jet from the nozzle is deflected by 90 when it hits the window as shown. Find the force the window must withstand due to the impact of the jet when water flows through the firehose at a rate of 0.15 m3 /s.
From the textbook chapter MOMENTUM EQUATION you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
