Given
Water flows through a reducing elbow as shown in the diagram.
The following values for your case study are provided in the table:
Static Gauge Pressure (P) in kiloPascals
Discharge rate at point B(Qb) in cubic meters per second
Inside diameter of the elbow at Point A (dA) and Point B (dB), both in meters.
The fluid in the pipe has a specific gravity of 0.70.
The elbow, filled with fluid, has a mass of 20kg, with a center of gravity at G.
Find
The vertical shear force at A(in Newtons)
The horizontal normal force at A(in Newtons)
The moment about point O(in Newton-meters)
Display and label all values in a FBD in the space provided Correct direction of the arrows is important
