Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Kinetics of Systems of Particles: Problem 4_35

4/35 The pump shown draws air with a density \(\rho\) through the fixed duct \(A\) of diameter \(d\) with a velocity \(u\) and discharges it at high velocity \(v\) through the two outlets \(B\). The pressure in the airstreams at \(A\) and \(B\) is atmospheric. Determine the expression for the tension \(T\) exerted on the pump unit through the flange at \(C\).
