Question: A marine terminal for unloading bulk wheat from a ship is equipped with a vertical pipe with a nozzle at A which sucks wheat up

A marine terminal for unloading bulk wheat from a ship is equipped with a vertical pipe with a nozzle at A which sucks wheat up the pipe and transfers it to the storage building. Calculate the x- and y-components of the force R required to change the momentum of the flowing mass in rounding the bend. Identify all forces applied externally to the bend and mass within it. Air flows through the 350 mm diameter pipe at the rate of 16 Mg per hour under a vacuum of 230 mm of mercury ( p =30 kPa gage) and carries with it 135 Mg of wheat per hour at a speed of 40 m/s
