A converging elbow (see the figure below) turns water through an angle of 135 in a vertical plane. The flow cross section diameter is 400 mm at the elbow inlet, section (1), and 200 mm at the elbow outlet, section (2). The elbow flow passage volume is 0.2 m between sections (1) and (2). The water volume flowrate is 0.8 m/s and the elbow inlet and outlet pressures are 130 kPa and 110 kPa. The elbow mass is 13 kg. Calculate the (a) horizontal (x direction) and (b) vertical (z direction) anchoring forces required to hold the elbow in place.
