The picture below shows a line of 4 firefighters holding a hose while trying to extinguish a fire. If the nozzle exit diameter is 10 cm and the water flow rate is 22 m/min. Determine: (a) the average water exit velocity (b) the horizontal resistance force required of the firefighters to hold the nozzle. (c) If a single fire fighter can hold 70 kgf. What is the maximum volumetric flow rate that the fight fighter can use?
