Estimate thrust necessary to keep the boat stationary


A hydraulic dredge is used to dredge sand from a river bottom. Estimate the thrust necessary to keep the boat stationary. Assume the specific gravity of the sand/water mixture is SG=1.2. The pipe has a 2ft diameter and the velocity of the mixture coming out of the pipe is 30ft/s, it is coming out at an angle of 30 degrees to horizontal.
