Q5: The following solution in blue is provided by ChatGPT for the following question. Please find out the
errors it made and show the step-by-step solution by yourself.
Water in a vertical (i.e., gravitational force of the fluid in the nozzle plays a role, and the elevation
change in the Bernoulli's Equation, if needed, should be considered) pipe is charging from an attached
bend nozzle into the atmosphere as shown in Fig. 5. The nozzle's weight is 20 kg. The pipe and the
nozzle are connected by a flange. The gage pressure of the flow at the flange is 35 kPa when the
discharge rate is 0.1 m³/s. The volume of the bending nozzle is 0.012 m³. Calculate the vertical
component of the anchoring forcing required to hold the nozzle in place and determine its direction. G=
9.81 m/s². The density of water is 1000 kg/m³.

Ql: The viscosity in industrial measurement continue to use the CGS system of
Lunits, since centimeters and grams vield convenient numbers for many fluids. The
absolute viscosity () unit is the poise, I poise = 1 gtem. s). The kinematic viscosity
(v) unit is the stohes, I stokes = 1 em /s. Water at 20C has u = 001 poise and also
V= 0.01 stokes. Express these resalts in (a) SI and (h) BG tanits.
