Ryan is a mechanical engineer working at a manufacturing plant which makes injection moulded
hemispherical cups. Before the cups can be shipped out the parts must be cleaned with an automatic
water-jet which removes any debris by shooting vertically upward into the cup. The water temperature
is 75C and initially shoots upwards with a velocity of 35ft/s and jet diameter of 1 inch which then
leaves the cup in the form of an annular ring as shown in Figure 1. What force must Ryan specify for the
manufacturing machine to apply to the top of the cup so that it does not move during cleaning?
