Question: Question ( 2 ( 2 0 mathrm { ~min } ) ) : A speed boat is powered by the jet drive

Question \(2(20\mathrm{~min})\) : A speed boat is powered by the jet drive shown. Seawater is drawn into the pump housing 0.75 m below water surface at the rate of \(0.56\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\) through a 15 cm diameter intake \( A \). An impeller accelerates the water and forces it out horizontally at the surface of the water through a 10 cm diameter nozzle B . The specific gravity of the seawater is \(\mathrm{SG}=1.03\).
a) What are the pressures at points \( A \) and \( B \)?
b) Determine the discharge velocity at \( B \).
c) What is the force on the engine case if we ignore the losses due to friction?
