Question: A reducing right - angle bend lies in a horizontal plane. Water enters from the west ( Section 1 ) with a velocity of 4

A reducing right-angle bend lies in a horizontal plane. Water
enters from the west (Section 1) with a velocity of 4.1ms
and a pressure of 32.7kPa, and it leaves toward the north
(Section 2). The diameter at the entrance is 458mm and at
the exit it is 351mm. The density of the water is 998kgm3.
In order to design a thrust block, you need to find the
magnitude of the force (in N) exerted by the fluid on the
bend. (Note: ignore friction losses). Give all answers to two
decimal places.
