Question 2.2.
For a vertical custom wye (see Fig. 4) through which water is flowing, the following data are given: A1=A2=64cm3;A3=38cm3;v1=5.97ms;v2=3ms;v3=5ms;p1=30kPa;p2=43.3 kPa;p3=34.6kPa. What are the values of the vertical components Rx,Ry, and Rz of the force required to hold the custom wye junction in place?
Notes: (1)A is area, p is gauge pressure, v is average flow velocity; (2) neglect any kind of energy losses; (3) all pipes are continuous, which means that no section in Fig. 4 is in contact with the atmosphere; (4) the flow is steady; (5) neglect the weight of the fluid. The answer should be Rx around 110N and Ry around 211N Thank you
