Required information A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 47 kg/s. Another ider attached to the existing elbow such that the water flow makes a U-turn as shown in the second figure entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the e weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Take the momentum-flux corre at both the inlet and the outlet. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m³. Water m kg/s 2 L. Water FRI 50 cm 50 cm If another (identical) elbow is attached to the existing elbow so that the fluid makes a U-turn, determine the force needed to hold the elbow in place. The magnitude of anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place is 1897 N.
