When operating, the air-jet fan discharges air with a speed of = 20 m/s into a slipstream having a diameter of 0.5 m. If air has a density of 1.22 kg/m3, determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at C and the vertical reaction at each of the two wheels, D, when the fan is in operation. The fan and motor have a mass of 20 kg and a center of mass at G. Neglect the weight of the frame. Due to symmetry, both of the wheels support an equal load. Assume the air entering the fan of A is essentially at rest.
