Question: Problem 1 . Consider the 9 0 - degree faucet. The hot water ( = 9 9 0 k g m 3 ) is pressurized

Problem 1. Consider the 90-degree faucet. The hot water (=990kgm3) is pressurized at P1=
221,000Pa and enters the faucet at v1=4ms through an opening of A1=0.01m2. The water
exits out at atmospheric pressure at v2=16ms though an opening of A2=0.0025m2. Reaction
forces are required to hold the faucet in place. The system is at steady state.
a)(2 pt.) Redraw the system as a schematic with a control volume around the elbow. Label
the components of the conservation of momentum equation, such as the influx/efflux
vectors. Draw a free body diagram for any reaction forces, pressure forces, gravity forces.
b)(4 pt.) Determine the reaction force in the x -direction. Report your answer in units of [N]
c)(4 pt.) Determine the reaction force in the y-direction in units of [N]. You can assume the
mass of water inside the control volume is 10 grams.
