Flowrate of water through bend pipe (90°) is 0.21 m³/s. The pipe diameter at the inlet is 150 mm and the outlet diameter is 75 mm. The outlet is higher than the inlet by 2 m. Frictional losses in the pipe is equal a loss factor of 0.5 applied to the inlet velocity head. The pressure head at the inlet is 8.6 m and the volume of water in the bend is 0.6 m³. Calculate the resultant force and its direction.
