The Wide World of Fluids article titled "Bow Thrusters,".The bow thruster on the boat shown in Fig. P5.77 is used to turn the boat. The thruster produces a \(1-\mathrm{m}\)-diameter jet of water with a velocity of \(10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). Determine the force produced by the thruster. Assume that the inlet and outlet pressures are zero and that the momentum of the water entering the thruster is negligible.
