I have found how to compute the area. The issue at hand is how to go about solving for the missing parameter by root finding method. (bisection/Newton-raphson, etc)
Imagine two nozzles with different parameters such as, nozzle area, pressure, density of medium, etc...these are just arbitrary examples to help give perspective to the problem at hand...

for quite some time now, and the components don't quite add up for me so I am just a tad exasperated... In the x-z projection, I see two forces acting along the x-axis---one...
