A fire hydrant delivers water of density \mathrm{\rho} at a volume rate \mathrm{L} . The water travels vertically upward through the hydrant and then does 90^{\circ} turn to emerge horizontally at speed V. The pipe and nozzle have uniform cross-section throughout. The force exerted by the water on the corner of the hydrant is :

Option: 1

\rho V L


Option: 2

zero


Option: 3

2 p V L


Option: 4
