A 100-ft 3 /s water jet is moving in the positive x-direction at 18 ft/s. The stream
Question:
A 100-ft3/s water jet is moving in the positive x-direction at 18 ft/s. The stream hits a stationary splitter, such that half of the flow is diverted upward at 45? and the other half is directed downward, and both streams have a final average speed of 18 ft/s. Disregarding gravitational effects, determine the x- and z-components of the force required to hold the splitter in place against the water force.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
