Question: 2 - from problem on 6 - 5 8 . Show computations, procedures and solution values for the following: Water flows through the pipe bend

2- from problem on 6-58.
Show computations, procedures and solution values for the following:
Water flows through the pipe bend section A-B. Gauge pressure at A=15 psi.
Flowrate =50ft3s, and pipe diameter =1ft.
Neglect the size and weight of the pipe and the water within it.
Compute the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) force components required to hold the bend in place.
Do the following:
(A) Sketch the C.V. pipe section A-B showing C.V. boundary, CV inlet, CV outlet
(B) Compute the Velocity at section A (fts)(cons. of Mass)
(C) Compute the Pressure at section B (lbft2)(cons. of Energy)
(D) Sketch the FBD for pipe assembly A-B showing all forces
(E) Apply Conservation of Momentum to compute the horizontal (x) Frx (lb) and vertical (y) force Fry(lb) components required to hold the bend in place
