.A 45° reducing pipe-bend (in a horizontal plane) tapers from 600 mm diameter at inlet to 30 mm diameter at outlet. The pressure at inlet is 140 kPa and the rate of flow of water through the bend is 0.425 m3 s-1. Neglecting friction, calculate the net resultant horizontal force exerted by the water on the bend.
