A pressure of 140 kpa is measured at section
1-1. The inlet diameter marked at section
1-1 is 27/√√ cm. While the nozzle diameter
marked as section 2-2 is 14/√√ cm. Assume
the following
Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
Weights of both the bent pipe segment as
well as water are negligible
Friction across the bend is negligible
(iii)
The magnitude of the force (in kN up to two
decimal places) that would be required to hold
the pipe section is
