d) A pipe is bent in the horizontal plane so that the angle between the inlet and the outlet sections of the pipe is 45. The inlet dianteter of the pipe is 0.3 m and the outlet diameter is 0.15 m . The mas flow rate of air through the pipe is 4kgs and air density remains constant throughout at 1.2kgm3. Calculate the force on the pipe bend exerted by the air (in magnitude and direction) if the upstream static pressure of the air is 105Nm2.
