Question 5
Figure 5.1
Figure 5.1 shows a nozzle with a jet of liquid 30 mm in diameter with a density of 850 kg.m-3
hitting a plate that has hole of 10 mm diameter in it. The jet of water requires a force of 50 N to
hold it in place.
(a) Assuming frictionless...
Oops left out the working.
Taking down as positive and and clockwise as positive
sum of forces = 0 = -RA + 4x4 - RB
sum of moments about A = 0 = 16x2 + 50 - RBx7
So RB = 11.7kN and RA = 4.3kN

The Attempt at a Solution
The problem I'm having is that I'm not sure how to work out the reaction forces because of the applied moment of 50kN.m. I know that the formulas are the sum of forces in a single direction equals 0 and the sum of...
