(30 pts) A large bronze winged figure acts as the nozzle for the center jet of a public fountain. Unfortunately, the engineer for the department of public monuments forgot to bolt the figure down, and the force of the water blew it off its pedestal. If the figure weighs 150 lbf, calculate the height of the fountain jet just before the figure took off. Nozzle dimensions: entrance diameter 4 in., exit diameter 2 in. Neglect all frictional losses. Neglect changes in potential energy over the length of the nozzle. Hint: you may need to consider two separate control volumes for this problem. PH20 = 1 lbf = 32 lbm ft/sec2 62.4 lbm/ft3
