A faucet is letting out water at a rate of 15 L/min. Assume that the internal diameter d of the faucet is uniform and equal to 1.5 cm, the distance ℓ = 20 cm, and the static water pressure at the wall is 0.30 MPa. Neglecting the weight of the water inside the faucet as well as the weight of the faucet itself, determine the forces and the moment that the wall exerts on the faucet. Recall that the density of water is ρ = 1000 kg/m3, and neglect the atmospheric pressure at the spout. Hint: Define your control volume using a section along the wall.
