A horizontal water jet driven by an orifice is impinging on a vertical wall as shown in Figure 2. The horizontal resistance force applied to hold the wall in place is Fresistance = 900KN. If the openning of the orifice has a diameter of D = 10cm, what is the vertical distance to the water surface from point A?
