Question: A 4 5 o reducing bend is connected in a pipeline, the diameters at the inlet and outlet of the bend are 6 0 0

A 45o reducing bend is connected in a pipeline, the diameters at the inlet and outlet of the
bend are 600 mm and 300 mm respectively. Find the forces (Fx , Fy and resultant force and
angle made by resultant force with x-axis) exerted by water on the bend if the intensities of
pressure at inlet and outlet are 8.829 x 104 N/m2 and 5.45 x 104 N/m2 and rate of flowrate
is 600 liters/secon
