Question: A nozzle discharges ( 0 . 0 8 mathrm { ~m } ^ { 3 } / mathrm { s }

A nozzle discharges \(0.08\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\) of water horizontally at a velocity of \(16\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) against a large vertical flat plate.
a. Determine the force required to hold the plate still.
b. If the same jet strikes a curved vane tangentially and all the water is deflected upwards through \(35^{\circ}\), determine the magnitude and direction of the force required to hold the vane.
c. What would be the force on the curved vane if the vane is moving away from the direction of the jet at \(5\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\)?
