That was very useful. Thank you Chet :) x

ok, that makes sense. Thank you so much! x

Thank you for your response :) I’m still slightly confused… why do I need to account for the force acting on the sides? Is it because the non-zero horizontal force component will affect the final force (term p2A2 in the momentum equation)?

Hello :) My question concerns a control volume with a changing area. The momentum equation: p1A1-p2A2 = ṁ(V2-V1) is applied to the control volume. The image shows the equation found when applying the above momentum equation to the control volume: The bit I'm having difficulty with is the part...
