A stream of water from a 50-mm-diameter nozzle strikes a curved vane, as shown. A stagnation tube connected to a mercuryfilled U-tube manometer is located in the nozzle exit plane. Calculate the speed of the water leaving the nozzle. Estimate the horizontal component of force exerted on the vane by the jet. Comment on each assumption used to solve this problem.
