A vertical water jet is issuing upwards from a nozzle with a velocity of 10 m/s. The nozzle exit diameter is 60 mm. A flat horizontal plate with a total of 25 N is supported by the impact of the jet. Determine the equilibrium height of the plate above the nozzle exit. Neglect all losses anc take unit weight of water as 1000 kg/m³.
