Explain, why is it difficult for a fireman to hold a hose, which ejects a large amount of water at a high velocity.

Dear Student

The water that is ejected out from the hose in the forward direction comes out with a large momentum and equal amount of momentum is developed in the hose in the opposite direction and hence the hose is pushed backward. It becomes difficult for a fireman to hold a hose which experiences this large momentum.

Thanks
