A water jet strikes a rectangular block through a cavity (open to atmosphere), as shown in Figure c and deflected back at an angle of 45 from the horizontal. Mass flow rate of the water is 14kg/s and the average velocity of the water is 30m/s. Assuming same area of water at the inlet and outlet and if the block does not move, determine the axial (horizontal) friction force between the block and the floor ( FX) ). Neglect gravitational forces. Figure c.pdf a. 526N b. 2,420N c. 717N d. 988N e. 1,613N
