Water flows through a reducing pipe bend and is deflected 30 in the horizontal plane. The velocity

Question:

Water flows through a reducing pipe bend and is deflected 30° in the horizontal plane. The velocity is 4 m/sec entering the bend (15-cm diameter) with a pressure of 250 kPa. The pressure leaving the bend is 130 kPa (7.5-cm diameter). Determine the anchoring force required to hold the bend in place. (Assume that the water is flowing in a positive x-direction entering the bend and continues in a positive x-direction and a positive y-direction after the bend.)
