A water jet at 60°F with a flow rate of 250 ft3/s and a velocity of 75 ft/s hits a stationary V-shaped splitter such that half of the fluid is directed upward and the other half is directed downward as shown in the figure. Both of these streams have a final velocity of 75 ft/s. Assume steady, incompressible flow, that gravitational effects are negligible, and that the entire system is open to the atmosphere where the pressure is 2116.8 lbf/ft2. Please calculate the x and y components of force required to hold the V-shaped splitter in place.
