Firstly we will calculate the mass of water passing through per second  :

                                                    m\ =\ \rho V

or                                                         =\ \rho Av

or                                                         =\ 10^3\times15\times10^{-2}\ =\ 150\ Kg/s

Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum.

                                                    F\ =\ \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}

or                                                        =\ \frac{mv}{ t}

or                                                       =\ 150\times15\ =\ 2250\ N
