For this wye fitting, which lies in a horizontal plane, the cross-sectional areas at sections 1, 2, and 3 are 1 ft ², 1 ft ², and 0.25 ft ², respectively. At these same respective sections the pressures are 1000 psfg, 900 psfg, and 0 psfg, and the water discharges are Q₁ = 25 cfs to the right, Q₂ = 16 cfs to the right, and exits to atmosphere at Q₃ = 9 cfs. What x-component of force would have to be applied to the wye to hold it in place?
