- Answer this pleasearrow_forwardSuppose a u-bend is redirecting a flow of water. The water enters flowing to the right at 10 m/s. The u-bend completely reverses the direction of the flow, so the water leaves flowing to the left. The area of the u-bend is constant, a circular cross-section of 0.12 m. The pressure in the fluid is measured at 50 kPa. The length of the u-bend is 0.46 m. Find the force, including magnitude and direction, to hold the u-bend in place.arrow_forwardA storm drain has a maximum capacity of 120 L/min.
