Seawater (left(ho=64 mathrm{lbm} / mathrm{ft}^{3} ight)) flows through the reducer shown in Figure (mathrm{P} 3.18) with (p_{1}=50

Seawater \(\left(ho=64 \mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\) flows through the reducer shown in Figure \(\mathrm{P} 3.18\) with \(p_{1}=50 \mathrm{psig}\). The flow losses between the two sections amount to \(h_{\ell}=5.0 \mathrm{ft}-\) \(1 \mathrm{bf} / \mathrm{lbm}\).

(a) Find \(V_{2}\) and \(p_{2}\).

(b) Determine the force exerted by the reducer on the seawater between sections 1 and 2.
