SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the mass flow rate of two water jets using Bernoulli's equation, the Mass Continuity equation, and the Momentum equation. The user initially assumed equal areas for both jets and derived the equation Q = A(va + vb) but encountered three unknowns (A, va, and vb) with only two equations available. A suggestion was made to consider the vertical component of the jet's weight to aid in the calculations, emphasizing the need to clarify the definitions of variables va and vb as the velocities of jets A and B, respectively.
