A little fluid statics question

[Dafe]

When finding the force required to hold the dish in place, do I have to take account for both of the "jets" going out from center?

I mean, there will be two forces in the negative x direction because of the water jet right?

I hope the question is clear enough

What's the net change in momentum due to all the streams? There's 2 from the jets, but what about the "main" pipe?

Yes, when finding the force required to hold the dish in place, you do have to take into account both of the jets going out from the center. This is because each jet will exert a force in the negative x direction, and these forces will add together to determine the total force required to hold the dish in place. It is important to consider all the forces acting on an object in order to accurately determine the net force and ensure that the object remains in equilibrium. I hope this helps clarify your question.
