Solved Exam Problem: Forces in a Piping System using Linear Momentum

MEC516/BME516 Fluid Mechanics Chapter 3 Control Volume Analysis: Solution to a linear momentum problem from a previous final exam. The problem involves calculating the forces in the bolts required to hold a water nozzle in place using the conservation of linear momentum.

The thing that makes your lectures different from other regular Fluid Mechanic lectures available on the net is: @9:28. The moment you ask us to think if an equation or an answer make sense or not... Thanks Prof. Naylor

[@FluidMatters]

Thanks. I agree that doing a quick "sanity check" on the final expression is something that instructors should emphasize more. It's a critical step, especially when more than a few marks are at stake.

[@dinay7985]

your explanations are on point, thank you professor. You deserve a follow 👍

[@FluidMatters]

Thanks for the kind words.

What are the coordinates(point) of action of the entire pipe exerted by the fluid? Is this perhaps a bending point?? I really enjoyed the video and learned a lot! nice explanation!😊

[@FluidMatters]

You can't get a line of action from this type of analysis.

@@FluidMatters then how can i find reaction point of the pipe? Could you give any source to study?
