Aplanenozzle discharges vertically downward to
atmosphere. the nozzle issupplied with a steady flow of water. a
stationary, inclined, flatplate, located beneath the nozzle, is
struck by the water stream. the stream divides and flows along the
inclined flat plate; the twostreams leaving the plate are of
unequal thickness. frictional effects arenegligible in the
nozzle and in the flow along the plate surface. evaluate the minimum
gage pressure required at the nozzle inlet. calculate the magnitude
and direction of the force exerted by thewater stream on the
inclined plate. sketch the pressuredistribution along the surface
of the plate. explain why thepressure distribution is shaped the
way you sketched it.
