Question:

The pipe shown has a 180° horizontal bend in it as shown, and D is 20 cm. The discharge of water (ρ = 1000 kg/m3) in the pipe and bend is 0.35 m3/s, and the pressure in the pipe and bend is 100 kPa gage. If the bend volume is 0.10 m3, and the bend itself weighs 400 N, what force must be applied at the flanges to hold the bend in place?
