Question: A 4 . A U - shape channel covered by a lid of 5 0 0 m m long hinged at the top is depicted

A4. A U-shape channel covered by a lid of 500mm long hinged at the top is depicted in Fig. A.4. A horizontal water jet of 7mm diameter with velocity 10ms strikes at 200mm vertically below the hinge on the lid and the water is deflected smoothly upward or downward along the lid. A force F, is applied normally at the bottom of the lid causing it to deflect 30 clockwise. Assuming that the weight of the lid is negligible, determine the magnitude of the force F.
