Problem 4
Calculate the force that must be exerted on the pipe shown to hold it in equilibrium. The elbow is in a horizontal plane and is connected to two 4-in Schedule 40 pipes carrying 3500 L/min of water at 15C. The inlet pressure is 500 kPa. Energy losses are negligible. (Hint. This problem is similar to Example Problem 16.3 found in the textbook on page 423)
