Question

4.2 Evaluate the impact of a jet of fluid on a stationary plate. 1. A jet of water strikes a plate that is vertically positioned in front of the jet. The density of the water is 1025kqm³ and the velocity of the jet is 45m/s. The jet emerges from a nozzle with a diameter 2.5cm. Find the force required to hold the plate in position. B. The plate is then inclined 45 degrees, what force is now required?
