A fire hose exerts a force on the person holding it. This is because the water accelerates as it goes from the hose through the nozzle.

Part A How much force is required to hold a 5.0-cm-diameter hose delivering 360 L/min through a 0.75-cm-diameter nozzle?

A fire hose has an inside diameter of 6.40 cm. Suppose such a hose carries a flow of 40.0 L/s starting at a gauge pressure of 1.62×106N/m2 . The hose goes 10.0 m up a ladder to a nozzle having an inside diameter of 3.00 cm. Calculate the Reynolds numbers for flow in the fire hose and nozzle to show that the flow in each must be turbulent.

Playing with a water hose

Two children, Ferdinand and Isabella, are playing with a water hose on a sunny summer day. Isabella is holding the hose in her hand 1.0 meters above the ground and is trying to spray Ferdinand, who is standing 10.0 meters away.To increase the range of the water, Isabella places her thumb on the hose hole and partially covers it. Assuming that the flow remains steady, what fraction f of the cross-sectional area of the hose hole does she have to...

When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 852 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1018 N. The mass of the sky diver is 86.9 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction. What is his acceleration, including sign?

Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force N1 and a frictional force f1 on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N2 on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.1 m, a weight of WL = 58.5 N, and rests against the wall a distance d = 3.75 m above the floor. If a person with a mass of m = 90 kg is standing...
