A fire hose and nozzle have the following characteristics. Diameter of the hose and the nozzle are .25ft and .1ft respectively. If the pressure inside the hose is 60 psig and the flowrate is 1.2 ft^3/s, calculate the horizontal force required to hold the hose in place. Water (row=1.94 slugs/ft^3) *Assume horizontal hose with no head loss in the hose.
