A steady, incompressible, frictionless, two-dimensional jet of fluid with breadth h, velocity υ, and unit width impringes on a flat plate held at an angle a to its axis. Gravitational forces are to be neglected.

a. Determine the total force on the plate, and the breadths a, b, of the two branches.


b. Determine the distance 1 to the center of pressure (c.p.) along the plate from the point 0. (The center of pressure is the point at which the plate can be balanced without requiring an additional moment.)
