Fluid Mechanics Problem   The clamping forces on a horizontal pipe-bend are measured to be 1050 N in positive x-direction and 850 N in positive y-direction. Calculate the "one time lossfactor K" for the pipe-bend based on the velocity in the narrow part of the pipe-bends beginning which is 2 m/s. The pipe diameter at the beginning of the bend is 15 cm and 25 cm at the end of the bend. There is water that flows through the pipe-bend with temperature 20 degrees Celcius.
