Question:

Figure 16.17 represents a type of flowmeter in which the flat vane is rotated on a pivot as it deflects the fluid stream. The fluid force is counterbalanced by a spring. Calculate the spring force required to hold the vane in a vertical position when water at 100 gal/min flows from the 1-in Schedule 40 pipe to which the meter is attached.
