(b) A reducing elbow is used to deflect water flow at a rate of 30kg/s in a horizontal pipe upward by an angle of 45° from the flow direction while accelerating it. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere. The cross sectional area of the elbow is 150 cm? at the inlet and 25 cm² at the exit. The elevation difference between the centres of the exit and the inlet is 40 cm. The mass of the elbow and the water in it is 50 kg. Determine the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place. Take the momentum-flux- correction factor to be 1.03.

![(b)
A reducing elbow is used to deflect water flow at a rate of 30kg/s in a horizontal pipe
upward by an angle of 45° from the flow direction while accelerating it. The elbow
discharges water into the atmosphere. The cross sectional area of the elbow is 150 cm?
at the inlet and 25 cm? at the exit. The elevation difference between the centres of the
exit and the inlet is 40 cm. The mass of the elbow and the water in it is 50 kg. Determine
the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place. Take the momentum-flux-
correction factor to be 1.03.
