Water is flowing at 0.020 m'/s at steady-state through a reducing 90-degree bend in the horizontal (r-y) plane. The diameters at the inlet and outlet are 0,050m and 0.030m, respectively, and the pressure at the outlet is 1.0 atm absolute. Neglect frictional forces. Calculate the components of the force in the x-y plane to hold the pipe bend stationary. Also, determine the magnitude and direction of the force in the horizontal plane.

Water is flowing at 0.020 m'/s at steady-state through a reducing 90-degree bend in the horizontal (r-y)
plane. The diameters at the inlet and outlet are 0,050m and 0.030m, respectively, and the pressure at the
outlet is 1.0 atm absolute. Neglect frictional forces. Calculate the components of the force in the x-y
plane to hold the pipe bend stationary. Also, determine the magnitude and direction of the force in the
horizontal plane.
