Water is flowing through a 15-cm-diameter pipe  that consists of a 3-m-long vertical and 2-m-long horizontal  section with a 90° elbow at the exit to force the water to  be discharged downward, as shown in Fig. P6–55, in the  vertical direction. Water discharges to atmospheric air at a  velocity of 5 m/s, and the mass of the pipe section when  filled with water is 17 kg per meter length. Determine  the moment acting at the intersection of the vertical and  horizontal sections of the pipe (point A). What would your  answer be if the flow were discharged upward instead of  downward?

Question

Water is flowing through a 15-cm-diameter pipe 
that consists of a 3-m-long vertical and 2-m-long horizontal 
section with a 90° elbow at the exit to force the water to 
be discharged downward, as shown in Fig. P6–55, in the 
vertical direction. Water discharges to atmospheric air at a 
velocity of 5 m/s, and the mass of the pipe section when 
filled with water is 17 kg per meter length. Determine 
the moment acting at the intersection of the vertical and 
horizontal sections of the pipe (point A). What would your 
answer be if the flow were discharged upward instead of 
downward?
