Assume a fire truck can shoot water from an onboard tank


Assume a fire truck can shoot water from an onboard tank; there is no inflow of water into the tank. What force must a truck engine produce to keep the truck stationary while the fire hose shoots a jet at 45 degrees at a volume flow rate of 2.4 m3/s at 10 m/s? Draw a sketch of the fire truck and its jet and then an appropriate control volume/surface for this problem. Express your answer in both Newtons and pounds. Assume the water is at 15 C.
