A pipe bends through (48)° from its initial direction as shown in Figure C. The diameter of the pipe gradually reduces such that diameter at inlet is 400 mm and outlet is 300 mm. At the inlet, the flowrate of water and pressure values are 0.053 m³/sec and 40 N/cm² respectively. Determine the following: 1) Velocities at inlet and outlet 2) Pressure at outlet 3) The total resultant force on the bend and its direction

Question
A pipe bends through (48)° from its initial direction as shown in Figure C. The diameter of the pipe
gradually reduces such that diameter at inlet is 400 mm and outlet is 300 mm. At the inlet, the
flowrate of water and pressure values are 0.053 m³/sec and 40 N/cm² respectively. Determine
the following:
1) Velocities at inlet and outlet
2) Pressure at outlet
3) The total resultant force on the bend and its direction
