Problem #3: A steady free jet of water exits a 0.5 inch diameter nozzle with uniform velocity V (point 1). The water jet impinges on a flat plate having a weight of 5 lbf and hinged at the left edge (point 2). The water jet impingement holds the plate stationary at angle 0=45. The redirected water jet exits with uniform velocity parallel to the plate surface (point 3). Assuming ideal flow of water, determine: a) the speed of the water jet at the nozzle exit (ft/s), b) if the water jet flow rate is reduced by 25%, what is the new angle of the plate, 0?
