Fluid Mechanics

A horizontal jet of water exits a nozzle with a uniform velocity of Vj = 20 m/s and area of Aj= 3 cm^2, and strikes a flat plate that moves to the right at velocity of Vc = 15 m/s. Upon impinging the plate, the jet splits into an equal upward and downward half-jet. (i.e. A1 = A2 = 0.5Aj). Neglecting gravity and viscous forces, determine the force (in both x - and y - directions) required to keep the plate moving at a constant velocity.
