Transcribed Image Text:3. A pipe on a horizontal plane carries crude oil (Specific gravity=0.825) at a rate of 10 L/s. A 60°
reducing bend is used at a corner where the diameter of the pipe changes from 150 mm to 100 mm. Oil
pressure in the incoming pipe is 200 kPa. Ignoring the energy losses in the bend, calculate the total
force (and its direction) on the reducing bend. Show all forces and your workings in a clear & appropriate
manner.
