A fire hydrant delivers water of density $\rho$ at a volume rate $L$. The water travels vertically upward through the hydrant and then does $90^o $ turn to emerge horizontally at speed $V$. The pipe and nozzle have uniform crosssection throughout. The force exerted by the water on the corner of the hydrant is
  • A$\rho$ $V_L$
  • B
    zero
  • C$2\rho$ $ V_L$
  • D$\sqrt {\rm{2}} \rho VL$

    A tall tank filled with water has an irregular shape as shown. The wall $C D$ makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, the wall $A B$ is normal to the base $B C$. The lengths $A B$ and $C D$ are much smaller than the height $h$ of water (figure not to scale). Let $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ be the pressures exerted by the water on the wall $A B$, base $B C$ and the wall $C D$ respectively. Density of water is $\rho$ and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity. Then, approximately
