Water from a stationary nozzle strikes a flat plate as shown. The water leaves the nozzle at 15 m/s; the nozzle area is 0.01 m. Assuming the water is directed normal to the plate, and flows along the plate, determine the horizontal force you need to resist to hold it in place. Given: Water from a stationary nozzle is directed normal to the plate; subsequent flow is parallel to plate. = Jet velocity, 15m/s Nozzle area, A, = 0.01 m Find: Horizontal force on your hand.
