Question:

The nozzle shown discharges a stream of water at a flow rate Q = 475 gal/min with a velocity v of magnitude 60 ft/s. The stream is split into two streams with equal flow rates by a wedge which is kept in a fixed position. Determine the components (drag and lift) of the force exerted by the stream on the wedge. (1ft3 = 7.48gal.)
