Problem:
A jet of water is discharged horizontally from a pipe with cross-sectional area 0.02 m2. The jet impacts a plate held vertically, which is a short distance from the end of the pipe. The water in the jet has velocity uj = 1 m/s in the +x-direction.
Required:
If the plate moves with velocity up = 0.5 m/s in the +x-direction, determine the horizontal force in Newton's, needed to support the plate.
Note: Please provide reasons to support your answer.
