5.15 Water is added to the tank shown in Fig. P5.15 through a verti- cal pipe to maintain a constant (water) level. The tank is placed on a horizontal plane which has a frictionless surface. Determine the hori- zontal force, F, required to hold the tank stationary. Neglect all losses. Jet area = 1250 mm Frictionless surface Constant water level 1 m I www Jet area = 625 mm 5.15 Water is added to the tank shown in Fig. P5.15 through a verti- cal pipe to maintain a constant (water) level.
