**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Water Sprinkler Mechanism**: A water sprinkler is a device that distributes water over a specific area, such as a lawn. When water is supplied to the sprinkler, it flows through the pipes and exits through small holes or nozzles. 2. **Identifying the Principle of Operation**: The operation of the water sprinkler is based on a fundamental principle of physics known as Newton's Third Law of Motion. This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. 3. **Applying Newton's Third Law**: When water is forced out of the nozzles of the sprinkler, it creates a force in the direction of the water's exit. According to Newton's Third Law, the water exerts an equal and opposite force back on the sprinkler itself. ...
