A plane nozzle discharges vertically \(1200 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{s}\) per unit width downward to atmosphere. The nozzle is supplied with a steady flow of water. A stationary, inclined, flat plate, located beneath the nozzle, is struck by the water stream. The water stream divides and flows along the inclined plate; the two streams leaving the plate are of unequal thickness. Frictional effects are negligible in the nozzle and in the flow along the plate surface. Evaluate the minimum gage pressure required at the nozzle inlet.
