A pipe placed on a horizontal plane, as shown below, is divided into two equal branches. The flow velocity in pipes "2" and "3" is 1.5 m/s. The pressure at section "1" is 120 kPa.

  1. Calculate the flow rates and pressures in the pipes.
  2. Calculate the force exerted on the mass added to the region where the flow splits into two branches.
