In a horizontal plane, a stream of fluid (specific weight = 9810 

In a horizontal plane, a stream of fluid (specific weight = 9810 N/m3) flows in a 50-cm diameter pipe, which later comes into a Y-joint. The Y-joint splits the stream O into 2 streams (stream & stream ) that flow in 44-cm and 50-cm diameters pipes, respectively. The respective velocity of stream 1 and 2 is 15 m/s and 12 m/s. Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of reaction force exerted on fluid by Y-joint? Compute the magnitude and direction of the resultant reaction force. V1 = 15 m/s 50 cm 44 cm 40 V2 = 12 m/s F, 50 cm V3 = ?
