A pipe U bend below is connected to a flow system by flexible hoses that

transmit no force. The pipe has an ID of $7\mathrm{.}62$ cm$.$ Water is flowing in the pipe at

$0\mathrm{.}0379$ m$3/$s$.$ The pressure at the inlet is $259$ mm Hg and the outlet is $155$ mm

Hg$.$ What is the vertical component of the force on a support under the U bend?

Neglect weight of pipe. Include the weight of the fluid with a length of piping of

$0\mathrm{.}6$ m and determine how neglecting the body force term would affect the

answer. A pipe $\backslash ($ U $\backslash )$ bend below is connected to a flow system by flexible hoses that transmit no force.
