Onestion 3: (40 points)
As shown in the schematic, water from a horizontal pipe flows into a two-outlet connector piece at point 1, and exits the connector through Outlets 2 and 3 as free jets with a speed of 15ms from each outlet. Cross-sectional areas of the constant-diameter pipe, Outlets 2 and 3 are given in the schematic. Water exits Outlet 3 in the horizontal direction (i.e.+x direction) and Outlet 2 in the vertical direction (i.e.+z direction).
What are the horizontal ( x ) and vertical ( z ) components of the force exerted on the connector?
[Hint: Assume negligible viscous and gravity effects. The density of water, water=1000kgm3; atmospheric pressure outside the pipe and connector throughout].
