Water flows through a horizontal bend in the (x, y)-plane and discharges into the atmosphere as a free jet as shown. Gravity acts in the z direction (perpendicular to the page). The pipe diameters are A₁ = 100 cm² and A₂ = 10 cm². When the Bourdon gauge reads Pgage = 15 kPa, the flow rate is measured to be Q = 5.0 L/s. Determine the head loss for this bend.
