A group of friends regularly enjoys white-water rafting, and they bring piston water guns to shoot water from one raft to another. One summer they notice that when on placid slack water (no current), after just a few volleys at each other, they are drifting apart. They wonder whether the jet being ejected out of a piston gun has enough momentum to force the shooter and raft backward. To answer this question,

(A). Sketch a CV, an FD, and an MD for this system.

(B). Calculate the momentum flux (N) generated by ejecting water with a flow rate of 1 gal/s from a cross section of 1.5 in.
