1. Water at 20°C and a steady-state rate of Q = 0.050 m³/s is flowing through a reducing pipe bend that changes the direction by 120° in the horizontal plane. The upstream diameter is DI = 0.2112 m and the downstream diameter is D2 = 0.0762 m. The upstream pressure is PI = 68,940 Pa gage while the down stream pressure is P2 = 10,018 Pa gage. Calculate the components of the force in the x-y plane to hold the pipe bend stationary. Also, determine the magnitude and direction of the force in the horizontal plane. %3D
