Torque and angular momentum
Not what you're looking for?
A fireman clings to a vertical ladder and directs the nozzle of a hose horizontally toward a burning building. The rate of water flow is 6.37 kg/s, and the nozzle speed is 12.8 m/s. The hose passes vertically between the fireman's feet, which are 1.30 m below the nozzle. Choose the origin to be inside the hose between the fireman's feet. What torque must the fireman exert on the hose? That is, what is the rate of change of the angular momentum of the water?
