Question:
A 3-in-diameter horizontal jet of water, with velocity 140 ft/s, strikes a bent plate, which deflects the water by 135° from its original direction. How much force is required to hold the plate against the water stream and what is its direction? Disregard frictional and gravitational effects.

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.
