Question: can you please solve step by step. the final answers should be (a) 14.5 (b) 338 N A horizontal plane jet of water (=1000kg/m3) issues
A horizontal plane jet of water (=1000kg/m3) issues from a slot of height h1=1cm and width w=1.5m (into the page) at a speed of V1=10m/s. A short distance away from the slot, a vertical splitter plate is positioned to deflect 20% of the flow downwards as shown below. The splitter plate is sufficiently close to the slot exit and is small enough that the action of gravity on the water jet is negligible compared to the action of the splitter plate. The frictional stresses on the splitter plate are also negligible and the splitting of the water jet occurs without significant losses. (a) Calculate the angle, , of the upper jet with respect to the horizontal (x). (b) Calculate the horizontal force required to hold the plate in place
