Water enters a two-dimensional, square channel of constant width, h = 75.5mm, and the mass of the pipe being M = 2.05 kg. The channel makes a 90° bend that distorts the flow to produce the linear velocity profile shown at the exit, with V_max = 2V_min. Assume the bend is a segment of a larger channel and lies in a horizontal plane. The inlet pressure is 185 kPa (abs), and the internal volume of the pipe is V = 0.00355 m³.

1) Find the v_min if U=7.5 m/s.
2) Calculate the force exerted by the pipe assembly on the supply.
