In the static test of a jet engine and exhaust nozzle assembly, air is sucked into the engine at the rate of 30 kg /s and fuel is burned at the rate of 1.6 kg/s. The flow area, static pressure, and axial-flow velocity for the three sections shown are as follows:

Sec. A Sec. B Sec. C

Flow area, m² 0.15 0.16 0.06

Static pressure, kPa −14 140 14

Axial-flow velocity, m/s 120 315 600

Determine the tension T in the diagonal member of the supporting test stand and calculate the force F exerted on the nozzle flange at B by the bolts and gasket to hold the nozzle to the engine housing.
