Eagle Engineering has designed an electromagnetic pump to pump liquid sodium.  The sodium moves through a pipe at A with pressure of 20 psig, then passes through the rectangular duct where it is pumped by an electromagnetic force giving it a 25-ft pump head.  The liquid sodium emerges at B through a 2-inch-diameter pipe.  Eagle Engineering needs to determine the value of the restraining force (F) on each arm to keep the pipe stationary.   Determine this value for Eagle Engineering.  For liquid sodium use a specific weight of 53.2 lbf/ft3.
