Why don’t you point out the misunderstanding?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54214626

The vacuum cleaner provides an external source of flow going through two holes in the pipe. Why should there be a force on the pipe as would happen if gas contained inside it was expelled from one end? These are entirely different systems. The one example has no bearing on the other.

Similarly, your conclusion is incorrect with the equations. Velocity is inherent to both mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate. But I don't see how this has anything to do with your vacuum cleaner example and conclusion.

Force is proportional to mass flow rate, yes. And? There is nothing here.

The vacuum cleaner simply creates low pressure, that is all.

The equation stated that there is force due to mass flow rate exiting a pipe. There is flow rate exiting the pipe. Where is the force observed?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77446242


Air is moving due to difference in pressure caused by the vacuum cleaner. We have mass and acceleration, force.
