A 97-ft³/s water jet is moving in the positive x-direction at 18 ft/s. The stream hits a stationary splitter, such that half of the flow is diverted upward at 45⁰° and the other half is directed downward, and both streams have a final average speed of 18 ft/s. Disregarding gravitational effects, determine the x- and z-components of the force required to hold the splitter in place against the water force. Take the density of water as 62.4 lbm/ft³.
