Problem

A liquid of density ρ\rho flows through the sudden contraction in Fig. P3.42 and exits to the atmosphere. Assume uniform conditions (p1,V1,D1)(p_1, V_1, D_1) at section 1 and (p2,V2,D2)(p_2, V_2, D_2) at section 2. Find an expression for the force FF exerted by the fluid on the contraction.
