A jet of diameter 20 mm and velocity 6 m/s coming out of a water-tank standing on a frictionless cart hits a vane and gets deflected at an angle 45o as shown in the figure below. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Neglect all minor and viscous losses. If the cart remains stationary, the magnitude of tension in the supporting string connected to the wall is ________ N.
Answer: 7.9 to 8.1
