a) The discharge of water through a 140° bend, is 30 litres/s. The bend is lying in the horizontal plane and the diameters at the entrance and exit are 200mm and 100mm respectively. The pressure measured at the entrance is 100 KN/m2, what is the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the water on the bend? b) Comment on how frictional losses might be included in the above analysis. a) The discharge of water through a 140° bend, is 30 litres/s.
