    Question about dynamic pressure vs pressure on plate

    Dynamic pressure, from Bernoulli's principle, for a moving fluid with a given density is P = \frac{1}{2}\rho {v^2} On the other hand, we can compute the force on a plate hit by that fluid from the rate of momentum transfer. Assuming that the fluid exits sideways after impact, we have...
