### Problem Statement

A two-dimensional square channel redirects a water flow from horizontal uniform to vertical nonuniform. The specifications are as follows:

- **Pipe width**: \( h = 75.5 \, \text{mm} \)
- **Pressure at the inlet**: \( 185 \, \text{kPa (abs)} \)
- **Exit pressure**: Atmospheric
- **Velocities**: \( v_{\text{max}} = 2v_{\text{min}} \)
- **Mass of the pipe**: \( M = 2.05 \, \text{kg} \)
- **Internal volume of the pipe**: \( V = 0.00355 \, \text{m}^3 \)

### Tasks

a. **Find** \( v_{\text{min}} \) **if** \( U = 7.5 \, \text{m/s} \)

b. **Calculate the force exerted by the pipe assembly on the supply.**

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram represents a square channel with two sections:

- A horizontal section where the fluid enters with velocity \( U \).
- A vertical section where the velocity varies nonuniformly from \( v_{\text{max}} \) to \( v_{\text{min}} \).

The transition from horizontal to vertical indicates a change in flow dynamics, specifically altering from a uniform flow to a nonuniform one.

---

This problem involves using principles from fluid mechanics, such as continuity and Bernoulli's equation, to determine the unknown velocity and force exerted by the pipe.
