PROBLEM 3 A nozzle discharges 2 cfs with a velocity of 50 ft/sec. The nozzle is inclined downward so that as the water jet strikes a fixed curved vane it is directed 30° down from the horizontal. The jet is deflected upward 90°, making an angle of 60° with the horizontal as it leaves the vane. Determine the x- and y-components of the force exerted by the water jet. Express the answers in pounds.
