A marine terminal for unloading bulk wheat from a ship is equipped with a vertical pipe with a nozzle at A which sucks wheat up the pipe and transfers it to the storage building. Calculate the x- and y components of the force R required to change the momentum of the flowing mass in rounding the bend. Identify all forces applied externally to the bend and mass within it. Air flows through the 14-in.-diameter pipe at the rate of 18 tons per hour under a vacuum of 9 in. of mercury (p = −4.42 lb/in.²) and carries with it 150 tons of wheat per hour at a speed of 124 ft/sec.
