Experience tells us that when a steady water jet comes out of a nozzle, the line attached to the nozzle is in tension, that is, the nozzle exerts a force on the line that is in the direction of the flow. If the end of the nozzle at B were capped to stop the water flow, would the force exerted by the nozzle on the line decrease, stay the same, or increase?
