Water enters the horizontal, circular cross-sectional, sudden contraction nozzle sketched in Fig. P5.40 at section (1) with a uniformly distributed velocity of \(25 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\) and a pressure of \(75 \mathrm{psi}\). The water exits from the nozzle into the atmosphere at section (2) where the uniformly distributed velocity is \(100 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\). Determine the axial component of the anchoring force required to hold the contraction in place.
