A 0.3-in-diameter horizontal water jet with a speed of 24 ft/s strikes a stationary symmetrical splitter. The cross- sectional area at the outlets is half of that inlet. Disregarding gravitational effects, determine the x-and y- components of the force required to hold the splitter in place against the water force. The water jet before and after the split is exposed to atmospheric conditions. 45 45 Splitter
