A fire hose is shooting water at a refrigerator at 10 kg/s with a velocity of 10 m/s. This flow is perpendicular to the surface and all water flows off parallel to the surface (ie no "x" direction in outflow). The friction on the ground which must be overcome to cause the refrigerator to move is 50 N. The refrigerator is 2 m tall and 0.8m wide and 1 m deep. It weights 200 kg (which you may assume to be evenly distributed). Will it move? If no what is the initial acceleration?
