Determine the magnitude and direction of the reaction force at a 90 pipe bend that is passing

Question:

Determine the magnitude and direction of the reaction force at a 90° pipe bend that is passing a mass flow rate of 985 kg/sec. The diameter of the bend is 60 cm, and the pressure head is 10 m just upstream of the bend and 9.8 m downstream of the bend. (Assume that the water is flowing in a positive x-direction entering the bend and a positive y-direction leaving the bend.)
