1. (10 pts) Water flows through a horizontal bend and discharges into the atmosphere as shown. When the pressure gauge reads 10 psi, the resultant x-direction anchoring force, FAX, in the horizontal plane required to hold the bend in place is shown in the figure. Determine the flow rate through the bend and the y-direction anchoring force, Fay, required to hold the bend in place. The flow is not frictionless. Ans: 7.01 ft/s and 674 lbs. Q=? Area - 0.2 ft 10 psi Water Area = 0.1 ft 45 Bend F = ? FA 1440 lb
