Homework Statement
A vertical cylinder with diameter 9 cm has an outlet on its side with diameter 3cm, water is filled to height 50cm and the outlet is 5 cm above the bottom of the cylinder. the outlet is closed by a valve, calculate the force required to stop the cylinder from moving when the valve is opened.
Homework Equations
A1V1=A2V2
Bernoulli's Equation [too long to type!]
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm struggling as no pressures are provided, and applying Bernoulli's equation isn't straightforward. I'm not sure whether it's possible to interpret it as the fact that the top of the cylinder is open, as this would make the problem simpler. I would really appreciate some insight to this question :)
thanks in advance
