The tip B of a nozzle is 1.5 in. in diameter whereas the diameter at A where the line is attached is 3 in. If water is flowing through the nozzle at 95 gpm (“gpm” stands for gallons per minute, 1 U.S. gallon is defined as 231 in.3) and the water static pressure in the line is 300 psi, determine the force necessary to hold the nozzle stationary. Recall that the specific weight of water is γ = 62.4 lb/ft3, and neglect the atmospheric pressure at B.
