Water ( = 1000 kg/m 3 ) flows through a horizontal bend and T section as shown.

Water (ρ = 1000 kg/m³) flows through a horizontal bend and T section as shown. At section a the flow enters with a velocity of 5 m/s, and the pressure is 4.8 kPa gage. At both sections b and c the flow exits the device with a velocity of 3 m/s, and the pressure at these sections is atmospheric (p = 0). The cross-sectional areas at a, b, and c are all the same: 0.20 m². Find the x- and y-components of force necessary to restrain the section.
